My story

We have decided to run the Sheffield Half Marathon dressed up in a house in aid of the Sheffield based charity Amy's House because it was the first place that Aaron went to in order to give us some respite.

The staff at Amy's House always make it a fun and safe place to play, so that we could go out and have a "normal" few hours without the behaviour issues that we have with Aaron. As much as we love him having a break from him regularily helps to keep us sane (well it does me, I don't know about Clinton!!).

Without the support form Amy's House we don't know what we would have done they are really special people providing a valuable resource to alot of families with children with special needs.

Please support us whilst doing this event, if not for running the half marathon dressed in a house, but for me having to run alongside Clinton in a small pop up Wendy House for a few hours!! (POOR ME!!)

Special thanks go to Jason Greene and Neil Turner from newyorkshiremedia for all their hard work in getting our house printed and looking fab. Without their help we would have just looked like two idiots running in a house, the advertising made it all worth while!! Thanks so much
