Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

26.2 miles, yes 26.2 miles (a whopping 42.195km for those who prefer KM) we have decided to tackle. 

Neither Vikki or I have ever run a marathon, so some might say this will be a challenge. I mean let’s be fair, it’s no walk in the park. In fact I’m (Kayleigh) also recovering from surgery in November ‘22 just to add to the challenge. 

Did you know? The run is a circular 26.2 mile route which starts and finishes at Headingley Stadium! 

And whilst the hilly grounds make for a challenging route, it’s nothing compared to the challenges that Vikki’s husband Paul faced during his battle with MND. Or what she faced daily supporting and caring for him. 

We both know it will be tough, there will no doubt be sweat, swearing and likely tears as we cross the line but we will cross it! Even if that means we crawl on our knees.

So, if you can please donate we’d really appreciate it.  And every donation counts - no matter the amount. Hopefully together we can help raise some vital funds to support other families and aid research that one day might find a cure!

Thank you, 

Kayleigh & Vikki x
