Story

Hellooo, thanks for visiting :) On September 5th, Harry Banks and Ben Carr will be doing some running (steady jogging... power walking..) for charity alongside people doing the Great Yorkshire Run - which is like the great north run... but better as its in Yorkshire.. and about 6 miles shorter haha. Its 10km and me and ben will be needing life support machines after the race.

Anyway, the charity which we will be running for is beat. beat is the leading UK charity for people with eating disorders and their families. This charity campaigns for better services and treatment, and provides information and support to those that need it.

The reason why we are running for this is that its very close to our hearts, and im sure its the same for a lot if not most of you reading this, so i wont go into it. When we found out we felt there was nothing we could do and a bit helpless, which im sure most of you also felt. So now there is a chance for you to do something :) this can be via donating, running yourself, making us get out of bed to actually train, or to stop me eating greggs cream doughnuts and ben going to the pub.

So if you do come across this page, please do donate. Even if its just a pound as it will still contribute towards our target and will be helping so many people across the UK.

To donate please go on http://www.justgiving.com/Harry-Banks or donate to us in person :)

Thank you again! All the love, Harry and Ben x
