Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On Saturday
23rd October we will take part in the Beachy Head Marathon.
We have entered as walkers and will be walking the 26-27 miles over the South Downs, which includes the Seven Sisters, starting and finishing at the foot of Beachy Head.
We
originally entered as a personal challenge, but we are now
aiming to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support. We have a very personal motive for doing
this as my youngest sister Geraldine (Gel), who is not yet 40, was recently diagnosed with a very aggressive form of
Breast Cancer. Gel has received fabulous support from the Macmillan team over the last 2 months.
We have
been training since we came back from holiday in August, with a long walk each
week, so far the longest being about 20 miles. As part of our intensive
training programme we have both vowed not to have a single alcoholic drink from
the Monday to the Friday before the walk. That is 5 whole days and for those of
you who know us well, it must be worth sponsoring us just for that alone!
