Marie Dobson – a tribute By Kevin Mottram, Newmachar Running Group
Newmachar Running Group have said their last farewell to Marie Dobson, one of our jog leaders, who sadly passed away on 9 Dec 2021. Marie was a much-loved jog leader who had such an outgoing, fun loving and determined personality, who never gave up. She will be sorely missed by the leaders, members and all that knew her. She has left us with loads of memories, but most of all she has left us with a message “to stay positive and live your best life”. We all knew how much she was suffering with secondary breast cancer when she returned to the group in 2019 however she maintained such a positive outlook and created her Marie Dobson Positive Plan (#PP). The #PP enabled members of the running group to contribute and help Marie to continue joining us on our planned weekly session as she joined us on a scooter which we surprised her with as a gift. The scooter enabled Marie to continue joining in the sessions and give out her instructions and encouragement to our members who were delighted that she was still able to attend.
