Hello friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances,

We are 6 20-something year olds attempting to run the Paris Marathon on the 13th April. A couple of us have run one before, while a couple of us would have never dreamed of running 5km let alone a full 26! We may all have varying abilities but nonetheless love the idea of running abroad together alongside thousands of others & it feels different to running London..!

Our aim as well as running together is to raise money for a fantastic charity that is doing amazing work helping women get back in to the work space. Smart Works is a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women in preparation for their job interviews. Women who for various reasons have been disadvantaged and perhaps left behind. This incredible charity looks to empower each woman by giving her the clothes, coaching and confidence she needs to succeed and transform her life.

Any form of donation whether large or small will go a long way to helping this fantastic charity achieve their targets and in turn empower all of us across the UK!

Many thanks,

Al, Bertie, George, Hamish, Hugo & Tom
