Last year Lucy's Dad, Chris sadly passed away after battling Cancer. He worked for the ICR for most of his career and they have been extremely supportive since Chris' passing to all of his family. Lucy and I thought it would be nice to raise some money in return for the ICR to say thank you, and to honour all the amazing work he and his team did over the years.

Joining us in #teamchrismarshall on the half marathon are Fiona Robertson and Leigh Daley. Both are amazing runners, and big thanks to you both in helping us through this race, and raising money for a charity that means so much to Lucy and I.

To find out why we are so proud of Chris, please read these links:

Personally, I think Chris would prefer us to be cycling! But neither of us would dare to cycle with Chris, as we both knew that we wouldn't be able to keep up with him...when I started running a couple of years ago, Chris was very encouraging. Cycling or Running, Chris was always interested in the Race!

Thank you for your support.

Luke and Lucy Wijsveld
