My story

Something has changed in the Now office.

Amongst the usual whirlwind of designer dresses, latest lipsticks and celebrity news, there are sports bras hanging up in the fashion cupboard, worn-out trainers underneath our desks and empty water bottles on every available surface.

No, we haven't been watching TOWIE's new workout DVD - we're busy training for the Royal Parks Half Marathon! On 9 October, our 15-strong team will be slogging around London's most famous parks on behalf of Cancer Research UK. 

Now magazine's aiming to raise as much money that our sweaty and achy legs can muster, one step at a time.

We hope that you will become an honorary member of Team Now by making a donation, because cancer has affected all our lives in different ways.

Please come back to this page to track our progress, as we'll be updating it with photos, videos and training diaries. Or if you'd like, come and cheer us to the finish line on race day!

Thanks again,

Team Now

Sally, Victoria, Kate, Ellie, Jade, Mira, Lucretia, Carol, Sam, Gavin, Louis, Dan, Steve, Andy and Jill

Special thanks to Lucy and the team at Garment Printing for making our amazing running vests. www.garmentprinting.co.uk
