Emma said: “Daft as a Brush is a fantastic charity which Bradley Hall is proud to support. The volunteers provide an outstanding service to people who need it most.
“Bradley Hall is continuing to fundraise for the charity throughout the year, so we decided to take part in a local Sunderland event to contribute to these efforts.
“My colleague Lauren and I don’t have much experience in running. However, we have been training hard and look forward to the challenge on the day.”
