In May 2021, Flo Campbell's life changed forever when she was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) at the devastating age of just 34.
A year on, despite the terminal condition, the Darlington optometrist is preparing to take on the Great North Run, pushed by her keen runner husband Ross. The mum-of-two - who now needs a wheelchair - has seen friends and family rally around her over the last 16 months.
They've taken part in a range of fundraising challenges under the banner #FightForFlo - they've already raised £28,000 and hope to double that by the end of 2022. The latest will see Ross push Flo in a specially-designed wheelchair - provided by Delichon - along the 13.1 mile course from Newcastle to South Shields.
