Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Chris and I aren't natural runners. And neither were we frequent runners. But after losing Peter in 2014 and Duncan in 2015 we knew that it was time for us to do our bit to stop cancer. So this is our challenge: to raise £10,000 for Cancer Research UK, to help them to find a cure. And in return we're prepared to run the London Marathon on 23rd April 2017.

Cancer sadly effects so many of our lives. But advances are being made all the time and we believe that with enough funding a cure is within reach, for the next generation if not for ours. We know that there are so many good causes out there, so thank you for sponsoring us. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We will be running some marathons and other races during our preparation, and will keep you updated on our progress. Thank you once again.
