An eight-year-old girl is all set for the Great North Run Junior and Mini wheelchair race this weekend - thanks to a kind runner who has come forward to support her.
Penny Turner signed up to take part in the event in aid of The Chronicle Sunshine Fund for the fourth time. She has won the race in previous years and was looking forward to doing the same this year.
However, the event was postponed following the Queen's death. It was originally due to take place on September 10 but was later rescheduled to this Saturday, October 8.
