Story
Hello! Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The Dynamic Duo:
In 2012, Sophie had her foot and ankle reconstructed. The prognosis wasn't great. Nevertheless, the challenge was set (by Sophie) to run a half marathon sometime in the future. Everyone, including the consultants thought she was over-ambitious and crazy. Mari didn't...the Dynamic Duo were formed!
In 2013, the Dynamic Duo made their debut...a 5km here and a 10km there.
In 2014, the thought of a half marathon was premature and should have been impossible. It wasn't. The Dynamic Duo smashed the Cardiff Half and raised over £1,000 for C.I.S.S.
In 2015, with 5 half marathons behind the Dynamic Duo they decided to set their sights on something bigger...
In 2016, in conjunction with turning 30 they're optimistic that they can complete the Paris Marathon; all 26 miles and raise even more money for C.I.S.S.
Why C.I.S.S?
The reason why we choose C.I.S.S was because it's helped our families cope with the complexities of cancer through the years. C.I.S.S may not have saved us from losing some of our loved ones but it has helped those fighting cancer thrive under its love and care. Something we think is priceless but isn't...like anything it needs constant funding. With our fundraising, hopefully we can help other families get through the toughest of times and come out stronger & mightier.
In conclusion...
Cancer sucks. Running sucks.
Why not help us turn two negatives into one massive positive by raising as much money as possible for C.I.S.S.
