Story

So it was going to be a Penny and Dave duo battle starting in the front pen. But a broken bone in my foot has hampered those plans. I was going to walk it in my moon boot but apparently that isn't a good idea. Boo.

So instead I will be bellowing from the side lines with Eleanor and lovely wee Oliver. Karin will be running as me (no pressure Karin, just beat Dave and give me a sub 1.30 please), Dave will be chasing Andy, Harriet will be smashing it in style and Laura will be running her first ever half marathon. 

Most importantly Karin, Dave and I are doing all this to raise money for Children in Need. The Lindt gold bear is affiliated with Pudsey and as an employee we need to show our commitment.

I am often blown away by what the charity does for children who are less fortunate than we were. While I was hording up my sweets, having roll call with my 129 soft toys before school and deciding on what shade of pink barter bullets I was going to wear (yes, I was an only child nerd) there are children out there that have nothing or disabilities that don't allow them to run around as free as we did. The money donated goes to these kids to have facilities, games and education; most importantly a good shot at life. So, if you can spare a few bob then pop it on the page for the kids.

FB updates on who wins the race will be constant on the day!

Thanks and big love,

Penny & Dave
