Absolutely amazing effort 👏

Priory Run 100km – Bamburgh Castle to Tynemouth Priory.
15 hours. 100 kilometres. One mission.One day. Countless reasons to quit.
Yet resilience carried us forward, teamwork kept us moving, and charity gave every step a purpose.

We didn't conquer 100km because it was easy. We conquered it because the cause was bigger than the pain.

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." — Nelson Mandela.

This is ever more poignant as yesterday marked the 82nd Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, when more than 160,000 Allied troops landed at the beaches of Normandy in the fight to liberate Europe from N**i occupation.

As a great man once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going."
— Winston Churchill

East Durham Veterans Trust this one is for you guys. The baton is now yours. Take it, run with it, and give those that need early intervention the outstanding support you are renowned for🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🪖
