RUNNING TO RAISE FUNDS. Margaret and Sydney Jackson's daughter, Sally Hutton, has been training hard and is preparing for the Great North Run on 8th September. Looking forward to the prospect of the demanding 13.1 mile event, Sally confesses it "seems very daunting", and asks us to think of her and Margaret on the day. As well as a personal goal, Sally is doing it to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, conscious of the invaluable support and advice she and her family have received over the years. You can support her by going to the following link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Sally-Hutton or send a cheque to me made payable to Alzheimer’s Society.   FJ
