Running 100 miles for Charity

Doncaster mum Teresa Hodgson is taking on a huge challenge, pledging to run 100 miles in just seven days to raise money for Club Doncaster Foundation’s Cancer Support provision. She’s taking on this enormous run in honour of her daughter Gemma, who sadly passed away from cancer in 2022.

You can support Teresa by donating to her JustGiving page.
