Story

Hi All

On Sunday 4th of October, Nichola, Shana and myself are running the virtual London Mararhon.  We only signed up 3 weeks ago and therefore have not done the usual training you would do to attempt a marathon but we’ve done our best and we’re going to give it a go!

Our very dear friend Rachel Sutcliffe recently lost her dad to cancer, but 24 years ago he selflessly donated one of his kidneys to Rachel. He was a big supporter of this fabulous charity and we thought it would be lovely to run in Geoffs memory to raise funds for his favourite charity.

We know it’s been a tough year for all but in particular the charities have struggled this year due to lack of sponsorship with many events cancelled.  We would really appreciate any donation you could make, however small, to support this amazing charity.. 

Ohhh and please pray for us on the day :-)  (cheer leaders and running companions all welcome! )


Thank you 

Shaz, Nic and Shana xxxx
