For those of you who know us well,  know that we actually hate running. Its boring, its monotonous, it takes up time and is a lot of effort. We do it to keep fit and so Sarah can eat as much chocolate as she likes! 

However, next year, we've decided to challenge ourselves by entering the London Marathon. At 26.2 miles,  it won't be pretty. But we aren't doing it for the glory. We are doing it to raise money and more importantly, awareness, for a fantastic charity, Action for A-T.

A-T or to give it its full name, Ataxia Telangiectasia, is a rare, genetic degenerative disease found in children. I won't go into the details but health progressively deteriorates causing an overall loss of coordination and muscle control. Children are usually confined to a wheelchair by the second decade of life (around the age of 10) and will need assistance with everyday tasks. 

There is currently no cure for A-T and no treatments to slow down or stop the progression of this devastating disease. The charity raises money to support  families affected by the disease and funds invaluable research into developing a cure.
