My story

WE BEAT OUR PERSONAL BESTS BY OVER HALF AN HOUR!!

Always gluttons for punishment we decided to complete another half marathon - this time we were great!! We stayed together and wiped out our PBs by half an hour. We were even able to continue a conversation all the way round - looks like all this training is paying off!!

NOW WE HAVE THE SMALL MATTER OF 26 MILES TO COMPLETE!!

This means that we are all training atleast three times a week. For sofa lovers like ourselves this is a great achievement (and VERY hard work).

Please reward our effort with a generous donation to Get Kids Going. This marathon has got us all going, and with your help, we would love to enable disabled young people to do the same.

Thank you so much for all your support, if you would like to find out more email our new address: marathonrunners@hotmail.com. Helen, Matt and Jess. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Get Kids Going! will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
