Last year, we decided attempting our first marathon in Manchester 2023 was a good idea…

We’re running for Volunteer Glasgow's Young Persons Befriending Service, a wonderful charity which provides support to 8–18 year olds living in funded areas of Glasgow who are dealing with difficult circumstances. A cause close to our hearts as we both volunteer for this charity on a weekly basis. 

This involves being matched with lovely, young Glaswegians spending time focused on them and getting involved in various activities which unsurprisingly for us, often involves eating and being beaten at a sport of their choice. We’ve seen first hand the difference this organisation makes even if it’s just a couple of hours with us two.

The Scottish weather has made our training plan pretty interesting over the past few months. Between us, we’ve been through more pairs of new trainers, injuries and snacks than we’d like to admit.. truly all the gear and no idea. 

Thank you for taking the time for reading this. Any donation is much appreciated and will get us to the finish line come 16th April!
