On September 11th NiMAC’s Managing Director Nigel McDonald and partner Kerrie Richards joined 41,000 others to take part in the Great North Run, raising over £400 for charity in the process.

After completing the gruelling course in a rather respectable 2:04, Nigel wasn’t that keen on signing up for the 2017 race just yet, ‘It felt like the entire route was up hill!’ laughed Nigel.
