Event Summary

Why run for Butterfly Conservation?

• Butterflies and moths tell us about the health of our environment; in the countryside, in our gardens and in our towns and cities.
• Two-thirds of butterfly and moth species are in decline – this is a worrying sign that the environment as a whole is in trouble.
• Butterfly Conservation is taking action to change this - helping butterflies, moths, other wildlife and everybody who loves spending time in nature.

"I’m really glad I’ve ticked the Great North Run off my bucket list, and so proud to have raised £700 for Butterfly Conservation at the same time. The atmosphere was amazing, crossing the finish line was a great feeling! Although it definitely was a once in a lifetime experience!" - Laura.
