Two Newcastle hospital workers are getting set to take on the Great North Run for a cause they see making a difference to cancer patients every day.
Research nurse, Sophie Thompson, and biomedical technician, Paulina Dudynska, both work at the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre at the Freeman Hospital.
Sophie, 27, from North Shields, works directly with patients undertaking a clinical trial of a new cancer drug, while Paulina, 23, from Newcastle, processes research samples as part of her role. The pair see first hand how the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation helps hundreds of patients with non-curative cancer each year and wanted to take on the famous half marathon to support the vital work of the organisation.
