We have decided to commit our bodies to several hours of torture, all in the name of 'sport'. Slow, continual jogging over many miles is not our natural gifting, but we have high hopes this experience will transform us into an athletic power couple - the Beyoncé and Jay-Z of the running world.

Training is well under way and we're hoping to build our fitness in time for the race on 3rd October. We'd really appreciate your support as we raise money for Saltmine Trust, an amazing charity who use theatre as a tool to challenge, inspire, and impact the lives of young people. They take issue-based plays and workshops into schools covering important topics such as knife-crime, domestic abuse, and internet safety.

Joseph on the run: "I thought it would it be a good idea to combine marathon training with marriage prep - what better way to get to know your betrothed? Turns out it was a bad idea (but it is working)."

Emily on the run: "I was hoping marathon training would be fun and turn me into a lean, mean running machine. Turns out it was a bad idea (and it's not working)."

Please dig deep with your pennies and pounds so that Saltmine can continue with this vital work. Please also pray for us (we REALLY need it)!
