<p>Well we did it! We ran the Manchester 10k and were still standing at the end of it!! It was a fantastic day (despite the rain) and just so inspiring to see so many people running for great causes. The atmosphere was brilliant and helped us to keep running. We achieved it in 1hr 22mins which we are pleased with as we were expeting it to take over an hour and a half! We really enjoyed it, which surprised us, but most importantly we raised a lot of money for the Meningitis Research Foundation and exceeded our fundraising target which is fantastic! A big, big thank you to everyone who has donated. For anyone else who still wishes to donate, you can do and we would be so grateful as The Meningitis Research Foundation is such a worthy cause. Meningitis and septicaemia are horrific diseases that can kill in hours. The Research Foundation does invaluable work funding research to prevent these diseases and to improve survival rates and outcomes.</p>
