Get Involved

“Brave Hearts supports children by rewarding their courage, the extent of which is difficult to imagine. In recognising these children and their families and carers, this charity has brought enormous pleasure and boosted the morale of many of our young patients who have endured so much. I am an avid supporter of Brave Hearts and will continue to be so. Thank you for all that you have contributed to children of our region.”

— Andy Welch OBE, Medical Director/Dep CEO Newcastle Hospitals

Great North Run

Annually we have 20 to 25 places allocated to Brave Hearts of the North East to enable us to raise funds for the charity. Brave Hearts pay for each runners place and in return we ask our runners to raise £350 in sponsorship. If you would like to run for Brave Hearts please use the ‘’contact us’’ section on this website.

The next Great North Run is on 7th September 2025.

Places are going fast - if you want to run for us, do hit that “Contact Us” button soon!
