Story

Thank you so much for supporting our chosen charity and helping to spur us on for the big day! Thank you also for the words of support and encouragement as you’ve seen us out training (not always a pretty sight). All these things make it worthwhile. 

I know times are tight for everyone at the moment, but if you can dig deep and give what you can for this fabulous charity, that would be amazing. The Salvation Army help struggling communities around the world in so many different ways, including food banks and fighting homelessness, which are very important to Paul & I.
