Story

Here we are again. We must be mad... 
Having taken on our first, 10km race in 2016, followed by the challenging Bournemouth Half Marathon in 2017, we're back for more...

We're beyond excited to have now achieved charity places in the Virgin Money 2018 London Marathon (22 April), running as part of #TeamAutism! for the National Autistic Society. 

This one's really important to us, so we wanted to raise the stakes... Someone very close to us is on the autistic spectrum and after years of research about the various conditions, traits, treatments, therapies and so on, the cause that this charity represents certainly has a personal place in our hearts.

We're committed and giving it 100%...
We lead such busy lives with our own businesses, family life and other commitments, but we've got no other option but to go for this and we want to raise as much money as we can, knowing that every bit we raise will motivate us to keep going and push us even further.

Please get behind us and give us the push we need! 

CALLING ALL LOCAL BUSINESSES!

Put quite basically, we need your help! We're asking just 10, local businesses to support us in our mission and work with us in the lead up to this hugely-renowned, widely-supported event. We’re asking all business who want to be a part of our journey to support us with £200 for this excellent, hard-working charity (of course, you can donate more if you so wish!).
