Story

Bonjour, mon ami!  

Hélèna & Marie, run around Paris!

We're doing this in order to raise some money for a really good cause, a charity building a nation of life savers, St John Ambulance!

We want to do our part, to take on this challenge and we need your support!

Why would two pitifully unfit ladies take on such an enormous feat, we must be mad  - and we are!  

But we also recognise the hugely important part sponsorship has to play in the fight to tackle some of the issues that plagued the UK.  One issue that is entirely preventable, is the number of lives that are lost  where first aid could have given them the chance to live.

This is abhorrent, but it can be changed, we can do something about it.

Marie Harbin and I are doing something about it – we’re taking on a challenge that far surpasses our skill set or capability, something that as it stands, is insurmountable – in the hopes that you may show sympathy on our inept, yet striving selves and challenge yourselves to dig dip to show your support and help make a life saving difference.

First aid is such a simple skill, but it has an incredible impact.  St John Ambulance wants everyone to learn it, so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. 

Whether petit or grand, anything you can give to support our Marathon Mission would make an invaluable difference.

We will complete it, we will prevail and we hope you can support!


Every pound you donate pushes us one step further - thank you.
