Foundation of Light runners gear up for Great North Run
It’s officially Great North Run week with 60,000 runners set to take on the iconic run from Newcastle to South Shields this Sunday including 20 runners from the Foundation of Light.
To mark No Tobacco Day, Sunderland AFC stars took on the Foundation’s Straw Challenge, raising awareness around the charity’s Kick the Habit initiative.
A campaign designed to help local residents give up smoking for good, smoking is currently the biggest cause of preventable deaths in Wearside and results in thousands of hospital admissions each year.
SAFC want to help its official charity tackle those statistics, with players and coaches alike determined to make a difference to the lives of Sunderland supporters as well as the wider community.
You can watch part one here as the Lads take on the Straw Challenge, with part two and three set to follow later this week.
Did you know people that quit smoking can improve their lung capacity by 10% in just nine months?
Kicking the habit could make the difference between being able to go for a jog or a kickabout with your friends or wheezing while walking up the stairs.
Together with SAFC, we're backing Sunderland Specialist Stop Smoking Service, to help people Kick the Habit!
