Martin and I met in Paris a long time ago! We have decided to run the Paris Marathon on 8th April, hopefully we will be buoyed up by all the beautiful sights. This is Martin's first and last marathon (and my last too, definitely....).

If possible, we would love to raise some money for two charities we are closely involved with. I help out on the local NSPCC Peterborough business support group which raises money for the service centre there and provides a vital support network for young and vulnerable children in a wide radius covering Cambs, Northants, Lincs and Leics. Any funds would go directly to this local branch.

Our other chosen charity is the Kivuli Trust which is a fanastic charity providing a much needed safe haven and hostel for vulnerable, disabled children (mental and physical) in Gilgil, Kenya. We have personal contacts with the amazing people who run and support this charity and we sponsor two of the children there. For more information, see http://kivulitrust.org/

Thank you for any donation you would be kind enough to give to either or both charities.
