Story

Thank you for visiting our just giving page. 

Back in October we decided, after a bottle of wine, to try for a ballot place in the London Marathon, not thinking for one moment either of us would get one. Well surprise surprise we both got offered a place - it was obviously meant to be. Since then we have been training diligently despite the ice, snow and both our beloved mums passing away we have kept on going.

 The charity we have chosen to support is St Clare's Hospice. This is where Jo's husband Adrian spent his final two weeks of life four years ago, and this marvellous charity deserves every thanks possible. 

We both appreciate how hard financially things are for most people at the moment, but if you could manage to donate anything at all we would be forever grateful and your support will keep us plodding along. 

Thank you,

Karen and Jo xx
