Thank you so much for supporting us. 

Elly and I work for a wonderful Charity called Core Arts which is very close to our hearts. The mental health charity is based in Hackney so it seemed natural to sign up to the local Half Marathon a few years ago (pre Covid). Elly since has popped out a baby and we weren't sure if it was actually going to happen but here we are...running - ish. 

So like my wonderful students who have to tackle daily barriers and push themselves out of their comfort zone I wanted to try and do the same. From hating running, shivering on the school pitch in unsightly gym knickers I decided to change my mindset to find it erm...enjoyable...I'm still working on that. 

So big up to my amazing students and all of the lovely staff at Core Arts who have pushed through (like many others) the craziest time over the past year and half.

Feel free to come and cheer us on and throw some jelly beans at us on Sunday (if we're walking we must have momentarily dropped something because we're really great).

Much love

Helen and Elly :) x x x x
