My story

Those of you that know Nick and Kirsty well, probably do not associate them both with the word marathon - wondering why we are gearing ourselves up for the start line and taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon this year - it is a long story, one that came about after too much cheese and wine!.

We are running for an incredible charity - The Amber Foundation. So many children, through no fault of their own are born into families with no love, no money and no direction.  They become victims of abuse - physical, mental and solvent.  The Amber centres offer a chance for these youngsters to regain their confidence, motivation, skills and education to get a job and keep it.

So many of us are fortunate to have friends/family to pick us up - so please donate (big or small) and help us give back a glimmer of hope to those less fortunate.

Thanks so much, Nick & Kirsty
