Story

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp; On the 6th November, after months of training David and Peter Nicklin&nbsp;ran the New York Marathon&nbsp;&nbsp;We both hit snags, David ran the final&nbsp;16 miles with&nbsp; his knee</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp; locked solid by an&nbsp;old injury&nbsp;and Peter was getting bad leg cramps for the last 6 miles - but we finished and we have the medals to prove it!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black; font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp;We are raising money for <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Papyrus</em>, a charity dedicated to helping prevent suicide in young people.
