My story

Thank you very much for visiting our page. We are running the London Marathon in Aid of the Countryside Alliance Foundation. The Foundation is the charitable branch of the Countryside Alliance that aims to spread awareness and educate children and adults alike about rural Britain. With current projects such as campaigning for the retention of rural post offices and village shops, more accurate food labeling, and promoting British produce, the Countryside Alliance Foundation’s work is truly vital to the welfare of Britain’s rural landscape.

 Any donation is very gratefully received, no matter how small. Although, in this case bigger is definitely better! £5000 is a daunting target but we are confident that, with your generous help, we can achieve our target it. 

Thank you.

Edward and William

..before up to 8 months of physio to get me moving properly again. I am still very keen to run and the CA Foundation have said I can run for them in 2013 without doing the fundraising - so, you wont be bombarded again i promise! Thank you again for your generosity. WILLIAM.

Unfortunately I have had to pull out of this year's race.. Last week I sliced open my hand pretty badly cutting through muscles and nerves when a jar fell out of the cupboard and smashed. It was operated on on Monday and I am now in a cast for a few weeks..

Thank you all so much for your fantastic generosity. With just over a week to go we have smashed our target. Please help us to raise as much as we can for this very worthy cause! Edward and William
