Jo treads the miles for St John’s

 Jo ran the race as a thank you for the care David Timmins, from Rossington, received at the hospice before his death two years ago.

Jo, who works for Doncaster-based Elite Pro Sports, was due to run the race with husband, Mel, but he had to pull out after contracting Covid.

She said: “It was a really hot day and running over 13 miles was tough going on my own, but I was determined to complete it to support St John’s wonderful work.”

It was only the second half-marathon Jo had completed, shaving three minutes off her previous best.

Maureen Harwood, from Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), a member of the St John’s fundraising team, said: “A big thank you to Jo for pushing herself to her limits to raise such a fantastic amount for the hospice.”
