Are we celebrating the hottest day of the year by sunbathing? No. Going on a lovely trip to the beach? No. Barbecuing in the garden? No. Running The Family Marathon around Victoria Park in the blazing sun for Hope and Homes for Children? Yes! 

We will each take on part of the challenge to run a marathon distance between us; running as many one-mile loops as our legs will allow, until together we conquer 26.2 miles. Henry and George are aiming to jog at least 6 miles each... go boys!

Please sponsor us if only for our ridiculous plan to run on the hottest day of the year – and of course for this brilliant charity:

Hope and Homes for Children work across the globe to keep families together; protecting children who would otherwise grow up in an orphanage, denied the love, care and protection that is so vital to us all. We can help support a family when they face difficult times, protecting them from being needlessly torn apart. Please help us reach our target so that one day, all children grow up in loving families, never orphanages. Thank you.
