My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Having enjoyed running the occasional few miles together we decided a few months ago that it was time to push ourselves a little bit further.  One Saturday night (....after a couple of glasses of wine!) we entered ourselves for the Robin Hood Festival of Running, Catherine doing the Half Marathon and Andy the Full.  The challenge would take us both much further than we had ever run before and would hopefully provide us with the perfect motivator to start getting into shape for those wedding photos in January!

After a couple of months of training we both agreed that our efforts should also benefit others in some way and it was at this point we decided to raise money for the Breast Cancer Unit at Derby Hospital (Part of 'Derby Hospitals Charitable trust').  The charity is close to our hearts as Catherine’s Mum benefited from their help and support when she made a full recovery from Breast Cancer a few years ago.  This was the perfect opportunity for us to give something back to them and our way of saying thankyou.

Your support would mean a lot to us during this challenge and will help motivate us to 'put the miles in' even when the sun isn’t shining!  We do appreciate that in the current economic climate ‘spare cash’ is not easy to find but we hope that if we can get a lot of people to give a little then we can still reach our fundraising target.

We hope you are able to support us in our attempt to complete a total of 39.3 miles!

Many thanks in anticipation for your generosity.
