With less than three weeks’ training, but relying on their Bond-like fitness and looks, Jake and Martin (combined age 0070) are tackling their first Half Marathon on Sunday 10^th October. Mission: From Bournemouth With Love. Objective: For Julia’s House Only. Commitment: You Only Run Twice. Shoes: Nikes Are Forever. Jake’s coach: The Dad Who Loved Me. Attitude to diet: No Time To Pie.

Please sponsor our pain, for Julia’s gain.

Julia's House cares for seriously ill babies, children and teenagers and supports the whole family - mums, dads, siblings and even grandparents. Unlike the CEO's legs, this care is flexible, but like him, it is all over the place: it is provided wherever and whenever parents need it. Julia's House relies on donations, fundraising and legacies for 95 per cent of its funds. This lifeline for families only happens thanks to the kindness of local people. Including Jake, and hopefully you.
