Although friends since school we've not always done everything together (contrary to what some believe!) but marathon running is one of those things where we end up in the same event (even if Richard is considerable quicker than Paul ). The Chicago marathon will be our 4th marathon, having both completed New York & London twice. One of the reasons we've continued to run is not just because of the incredible atmosphere but it also provides an opportunity to help support charities close to our hearts. We are delighted to be running for Spread Some Sunshine this year, a local charity with such a global reach. The chance to run for a charity that has such an impact on the lives of children was a cause we fully support and makes the gruelling training worthwhile. There've been hiccups on the way, Paul had knee surgery impacting training & there has been the heat to contend with but we're looking forward to wearing those neon green vests and raising money for a truly worthy cause
