Story
We’re a pair of Irish/Yorkshire lasses doing something slightly mad — running a shared marathon for Aphasia Support.
This charity supports people with communication challenges after stroke or brain injury, helping them regain confidence, independence and connection. They’ve been a huge support to our Auntie Breda and Uncle Steve, and we’ve seen first-hand how powerful that help can be.
Our Breda has always been bold, feisty and full of life. After her stroke, some of that was lost — but thanks to Aphasia Support, her spark is making a comeback. And honestly, that means everything.
Below is a short video so you can hear more about Breda & Steve's story and how this small charity makes a huge difference.
We’re splitting the marathon — Cambridge, UK (8 March) and Noosa, Australia (23 May) — despite never running a race before. We’ll be knackered, no doubt… but we’ll crack on for a cause that truly matters.
Each donation makes a difference, and all are appreciated. Let’s show what northern grit — and big hearts — are all about.
