Michael Barnes

Mike, 65, started running 10 years ago as a way to lose weight. He has now completed eight consecutive Great North Runs, which is the largest half marathon in the world, as well as the Polar Night half in Tromso, Norway, and the Midnight Sun Marathon. He has also completed marathons in London and New York. Mike is aiming for at least a half-marathon on every continent and at the North Pole. He is running to raise funds for the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF).
