On September 7h, a brave member of staff from Barchester Healthcare’s Wimbledon Beaumont care home on Arterberry Road in Wimbledon will be taking on the gruelling Great North Run to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation. The Foundation supports older people and other adults living with a disability or mental health problems by helping them to connect or re-connect with others in their local communities
Health & Safety Coordinator, Becky Dearing, will don her lycra, put on her trainers and use grit and determination to complete the 13 mile half marathon course that starts in Newcastle upon Tyne and takes thousands of runners over the iconic Tyne Bridge in order to raise funds for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.
Becky has worked for Barchester for eight years and loves her job working in the Health & Safety team helping to keep residents safe. A keen runner and no stranger to a charity challenge, Becky has been training hard although she finds it more difficult to fit in her runs now that she has toddler twins to look after. If you would like to support her, please visit https://AJBellgreatnorthrun2025.enthuse.com/pf/rebecca-dearing, all donations will be very gratefully received.
Becky comments: “This will be my eighth Half Marathon but my first ever Great North Run and I’m really excited to take part, it has been on my bucket list for a long time. I absolutely love running and it has been great to get back into it after having my twins. I’m hoping to raise lots of money for the Foundation. I know all the staff, residents and relatives at Wimbledon Beaumont, everyone on the Health & Safety team and all my friends and family are all behind me and their support plus the money I’m raising will help me go the distance!”
