Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The office decided we wanted to set ourselves a challenge in 2014 and  raise some money for a fantastic cause in the process.

After much debate and deliberation and no small amount of 'gentle' persuasion, it was agreed that a half marathon, although challenging, was an achievable target for us all to aim for.

The Basingstoke Half Marathon was 100 days away, fell on Lenny's birthday and was at a start time that fitted in with the family commitments of the team.

We will all be running for Marie Curie Cancer Care. We all chose a charity that meant something to us personally and in true democratic style, entered the names into a hat.

Jake's, the IT brains in the business, name was drawn and he chose Marie Curie Cancer Care, a cause close to his and his brother, Josh's, heart. The wonderful and caring nurses at the Marie Curie hospice in Hampstead, London, made the last difficult and emotional days of their much-loved Grandfather, Charles Elvey, so much more positive and bearable for Charles and the whole family. They provided support, love, care, laughter and advice and made sure Charles' last days were as comfortable and positive as possible. Jake and Josh's whole family are so grateful for the support these wonderful people bring to people like us at such a difficult time.

We hope you'll agree the charity does a fantastic job and help us in raising some much needed money to ensure the charity can continue to help people and families at such a difficult period in their lives.

Thank you in advance for anything you can spare :)
