Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This year, both of us are putting London Marathon on the running calendar to raise money for Willow Foundation. Willow Foundation helped our sister Francesca as she battled cancer and we are keen to continue to support Willow so that others can benefit from their 'Special Days' - an opportunity to create valuable memories and time out from the stresses of living with life threatening conditions. Sadly, Francesca lost her 8 year fight with cancer in 2008, but she will be in our thoughts as we head for the finish line on 22 April 2012. Obviously, we are setting ourselves targets! Alex is hoping to improve on her 2010 time of 4:04:36. Simon hopes to improve on his previous best from 2009 of 2:49:28.

Training is going to plan so far - both Frasers took part in the Tunbridge Wells Half on 26 February. Simon's 1:19:09 contributed towards Tonbridge AC winning 1st Male Team while Alex came home in 1:46:28. Any plans to run in fancy dress have been subsequently quashed as the competitive spirit has kicked in...the Incredible Hulk will be putting in an appearance at a later date, yet to be confirmed!
