Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On 22nd April Sarah and Alec will be running 26.2 miles to raise money for Medical Research Institute at Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, North Wales.&nbsp;</p> <p>Alec is running his sixth marathon, to make it one for every decade ;) whilst Sare is running her first...and is bricking it!</p> <p><strong>Please sponsor - it's a great cause and adds so much motivation for training!</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Why the Orthopaedic?</strong></p> <p>Nanky, (95 year old grandmother/mum-in-law) uses this hospital frequently and, as you'll know if you've met her, is a true inspiration.</p> <p>Despite suffering constant and severe pain in her neck, she retains a very genuine interest in those around her as well as a cheeky sense of humour. Always to be relied up for a witty observation or fashion tips (she only stopped her Vogue subscription aged 92), she keeps everyone entertained. Nanky has used the hospital for a long time, so it is nice to be able to contribute something to a local good cause.</p> <p><strong>Can we do it?</strong></p> <p>Alec could run the race tomorrow but is training as hard as ever to get close to his pb from a few years ago.</p> <p>Sare is finding it pretty relentless but has got up to 14 miles now! Dad is an inspiration as ever.</p> <p>Please donate what you can for a great cause - every little helps and adds more motivation for training!!</p>
