<p>This year we have set ourselves a massive personal challenge (a good idea at the time after a few glasses of wine!) to run the Reading Half Marathon on 1st April 2012. Neither of us are 'natural' runners so it has been a struggle to drag ourselves out in the cold to train to get ourselves fit enough to complete the half marathon distance but we are getting there albeit slowly and painfully! We are running the half marathon to raise money for the Newbury Cancer Care Trust and their Rainbow Rooms which provide help and support to cancer patients and their families in Newbury and West Berkshire. This is a local charity and one that is particularly close to our hearts having supported a number of friends and their families during the really tough times over the last couple of years. We hope that whatever we can raise helps just a little bit...</p> <p>If you are able to make a donation, no matter how small to help to keep us motivated and push us over the finish line (even if we are crawling by that point) we would really appreciate it! Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Thank you so much for your support. Nicki &amp; Rachel x</p>
