We’re running the 2022 Manchester Marathon to raise funds for Cradle.

The idea of taking on 26.2 miles isn’t something that fills any of the four of us with a great deal of confidence; but we’ve been continuing to put in the miles over the cold winter months as a team of ‘drinkers with a running problem’, determined to raise money for a cause close to our hearts.

We’ll be taking on this challenge in support of our friends Martin & Faye Hughes, whose daughter Ivy Shae was born asleep after 32 weeks. Ivy’s family are determined to give something back in her memory; and to help in ensuring that future parents facing such loss are able to do so with hope.

Cradle is an early pregnancy loss charity who raise funds for fast track counselling and provide care and support to women or couples during or following pregnancy loss. Any donations will help to ensure they’re able to continue to offer the essential support they provide, further details of which can be found on their website - https://cradlecharity.org/.

Many thanks for your support.

Tom, Andy, Ken (Josh) & Danny.
