Over 1,700 runners gathered together in a fight against cancer to raise an incredible amount of money as the Race for Life came to the North East.
Fundraisers of all ages took part in a series of fun-runs at Sunderland's Herrington Park on Sunday, with runners taking part in 10k, 5k and 3k challenges - as well as a Pretty Muddy obstacle course and Pretty Muddy Kids event, raising an estimated £191,000 for Cancer Research UK.
One of the many fundraisers there on the day was David Ansell who completed the 10k course and added additional mileage to make up the distance to 10 miles, ticking off day 144 of his ambitious challenge.
