A TEAM of Scarborough estate agents will be doing this year's Great North Run to raise money and awareness for Unique.

Unique supports families living with rare chromosome disorders and is a charity close to the heart of Samantha Hay, founder of estate agency Ellis Hay, whose niece is affected by a disorder.

Samantha's niece, Violet, has a range of profound disabilities and complex medical needs.

Samantha said: "Unique have been a huge help to my family, helping to point them in the right direction for help with practical daily living and advice on a variety of topics such as grants and funding.

The run takes place on September 8 in Newcastle and South Shields.
