MechTronic Ltd – Emma completes the Great North Run
Emma Allinson, marketing coordinator at MechTronic Ltd, the Leeds-based metering and gauging fuel delivery system experts, successfully completed the Great North Run to raise money for Blood Bikes.
Emma said: “I absolutely smashed my target and raised £525 for the Blood Bikes – I am so grateful to everyone that sponsored me for such a worthy cause!
“People have asked if I would do it again…I have to say the GNR was brutal, I stood for 90 minutes in 24 degrees heat before I even crossed the start line, Mo Farah had finished before I’d even set off, there were so many hills and I had hamstring pain, and 800m before the finish line, a monsoon hit and we had to walk four miles back to our friend’s house (with three young boys all complaining they were cold and that their legs were hurting!) as South Shields was flooded.
“But YES, I would, I met two fantastic girls and we ran together and got each other round. We saw Bill, the 102-year-old gentleman who was doing it, and so many people running in some awesome (and heavy!) costumes – one man was carrying a washing machine on his back! And so many people running in memory of someone or for a charity that meant the world to them.
“Yes, I would absolutely put myself through that torture again, although I am in no rush to do it anytime soon!”
What a race! Congratulations Emma!
