Harrogate and Knaresborough's New MP to run Great North Run for St Michael's Hospice

Local MP Tom Gordon

Tom Gordon, the recently elected Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Harrogate and Knaresborough, is set to lace up his running shoes once again.

This September, elected Liberal Democrat MP Tom Gordon will take part in the Great North Run, the world's largest half marathon, to raise funds for Saint Michael’s Hospice, which provide hospice care to those affected by terminal illness.

This will be the second time Tom has taken part in the run.

Tom’s participation in the Great North Run highlights his commitment to supporting vital local services as the new MP, and he aims to raise awareness and much-needed funds for the hospice, enabling them to continue their invaluable work.

Tom commented saying,

"Saint Michael’s is a fantastic local hospice care charity ensuring people affected by terminal illness across the Harrogate district can access high-quality, personalised care."

“Countless people have told me the difference that St Michael’s hospice have made to their and their loved one’s lives."

He added,

“They provide a crucial service and charities across the board are struggling at the moment, which is why I’m running again this year."
