Our Story

The dynamic duo are back! After completing both London and Manchester Marathon, we are now planning on taking part in as many events as possible nationally and internationaly. This will support our mission to show that disabled people around the world can take part in major events, with the right support.

For the past fifteen years, we’ve raced everything from 5Ks to full marathons, and every event has brought us joy, purpose, and unforgettable memories.

Our dream is to complete all of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Not only would this be an incredible personal achievement, but it would also help raise awareness that assisted athletes deserve and belong on the world stage.

Why We Need Help,

Unfortunately, the ongoing travel and accommodation costs are becoming too much for us to manage alone. In fifteen years of racing, this is the first time we’ve ever asked for financial help. Every donation, big or small will go directly towards helping us continue this journey. Equipment is also needed as we are recieving more requests for help from disabled people to support them by being assisted in events.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for your interest in what we’re doing. You can learn more about our journey on our website:
