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

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, Tom will participate 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 Tom’s second consecutive year running the Great North Run for Saint Michael’s Hospice. 

Tom said: "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 ones lives.

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

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 Saint Michael’s Hospice, enabling them to continue their invaluable work.
