We are aware of Anna’s Hope’s long standing involvement in the Great Eastern Run in previous years, and we are looking forward to continuing that work with the charity going forwards, and raising awareness of the charity as much as possible, and supporting their vital work.

“The Great Eastern Run will be returning this year, and we couldn’t be happier that Anna’s Hope will be returning as part of that – and we are looking forward to seeing the thousands of runners beginning their 5K Fun Run at 10.00am on Sunday 16th October”.
