On Sunday 21st October 2018 we will be returning to the Great South Run to raise money and awareness for Kidney Care UK in memory of our big sister Amy, who sadly lost her battle with kidney disease in October 2016.

"The Twits and Lil' Bro" (as Amy called us) will be returning with our Dad, Colin Alexander and we will be pulling the old man around the 10 mile course with us.

As he is new to the running game to help us with this mission we have recruited the long legs of Steve Smale, the coaching skills of former PE teacher Mark Jackson and one of dads former bosses Robin Jarman. 

This will become a battle of the over 60's versus the just into our 30's as we follow in Amy's footsteps where she completed the 2008 race in 1 hour 58 minutes!

The gauntlet has been laid... =)

This race will mark the 2nd anniversary since we lost Amy and it seems a fitting tribute to mark the life of someone who gave so much of herself to raise awareness and money for others in her situation despite being so incredibly unwell.

She has always made us proud and we hope to do the same with round two of the Great South Run. 

Last year we were incredibly thankful to everyone who sponsored us and helped us raise over £2500!

We understand that people cannot give every year and also have their own charities that they hold dear to their hearts, but if you feel able to support us and make a donation (no matter how small) we would be very grateful.
