In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 27th of June, 1982 - a momentous day for athletics enthusiasts as they witnessed The Great North Run. Amidst the sea of determined runners, our attention is immediately drawn to a footsore and exhausted Steve Thompson. With his face etched with both pain and determination, he finds solace in the compassionate care of a volunteer. The image encapsulates the essence of grit and perseverance that defines long-distance running. Steve's blistered feet serve as a testament to the physical toll endured during such an arduous race. Yet, despite his obvious discomfort, his spirit remains unbroken. The volunteer attending to Steve's blisters exemplifies the camaraderie that permeates sporting events like these.
