Welcome to the Team Jones 2011 Fundraising page!

Chris and Kev are now gearing up for the Edinburgh Marathon on 22nd May....not long now!!  They have been training really hard and are now looking forward to the big day.

As for the girls, you may have seen that the weather was exceptionally warm for the London Marathon and it certainly added an extra element to the course and the challenge ahead! The crowds en route were fantastically supportive and seeing the ‘Maggie’s Mafia’ supporters aka nearly 20 family members & friends at mile 6 was a welcome sight indeed. Unfortunately, Emma had to withdraw from the marathon at mile eight due to exhaustion, which wasn’t an easy decision to make as you can imagine. However, Suzie and Sam battled on through the tough conditions and with the support of the Maggie’s Mafia again at miles 13, 23 and 25.5 they made it across the line!

We would love to raise as much as we can for the Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre in Oxford, two of our mum’s have benefitted massively from their help and support and we would like to be able to give something back.

All your support really does mean a lot and really does help not just the person dealing with cancer, but their families too. Between us all, we will be running in excess of 1500 training miles - the equivalent of running from London to Moscow!  We all completed the Silverstone half marathon on 6th March, a slightly mad idea the day after a fundraising event, but we did it!
