Stanley and I started on our journey as we wanted to do something special together during Covid-19 lockdown. Also, I wanted to get fit and Stanley wanted a 6 pack and to be able to run away from any bullies!  It has  given us space to talk about Stanley’s special interests, his fears and worries and life during lockdown.  On one of our runs Stan told me about a character in Percy Jackson, a series he is currently reading, who has an abusive parent. This conversation led to us talking about the children and women who are struggling more than ever during lockdown at the hands of an abusive men. So we agreed we would try and raise money to help them. Every kind and generous donation has helped to motivate us and has kept us going! Thank you so much from both of us to all of you  Xx
