Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Every 2 hours, someone in the UK sustains a spinal cord injury. Their world – and that of their family – is turned upside-down. SIA aim to reach everyone affected by spinal cord injury, to connect them to all the help and support they need to life a fulfilled life.

Story

Welcome to Adam and Fred's Fundraising Page!

We have been running together for the last two years and came up with the idea of running the London Marathon one night after a couple of glasses of wine - well, it seemed like a good idea at the time! So far we have run a half marathon and a couple of 10k runs together but nothing as challenging as a marathon. This will be Adam's first time doing the 26.2 mile distance and Fred has told him all the horror stories from his two previous ones!

We have decided to run in aid of the Spinal Injuries Association, a fantastic charity that helps those faced with spinal cord injury. Through both of our jobs we know people who have had to deal with spinal cord injury and SIA are there to support those who have to face this difficult experience.

We need your help so please, sponsor us now!!!

Thank you for your support.

Adam and Fred

With less than a week to go we are both hoping (and praying!) that all our training will pay off on Sunday.  If you would like to come to see us run please contact us for details.  Thank you to all who have supported us so far and if you haven't sponsored us yet you still have until the end of May to do so, so get sponsoring!

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!! It was quite a hot day so both of us suffered from the heat but somehow we managed to persevere for the 26.2 miles. The support from the crowd was fantastic and at times it was the only thing keeping us going. Our legs are hurting now but thanks to all of your generous donations it all seems worthwhile. Thank you all!
