Story

On 11th May, I'll be running the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. But that's just the warm up. 3.5 weeks later, on 4th June I'm going to run the Yorkshire 3-Peaks. If that wasn't enough, Paula will also be running the Leeds Half Marathon on 11th May!

Would you kindly consider sponsoring us?

We are raising money for a cause close to my heart.

Both of my sisters have lived for many years with a chronic illness called fibromyalgia that causes pain all over the body and chronic fatigue. They push their bodies to their limits daily just to do everyday things that I often take for granted. So I'm going to push my body through the pain barrier too to raise money in aid of Fibromyalgia Action UK, a charity that offers support to people with fibromyalgia.

As hard as it is for my sisters to live with fibro, they and I count ourselves as blessed to know that our awesome God is with them through it all.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

If you would like to know more, including following my training on Strava, tracking our races on the day, joining me on training runs, or even joining me for all or some of the 3-peak challenge, just get in touch.
