On Saturday 14th June we’ll both be taking on ‘The Wall’ and raising money for Cystic Fibrosis Care, a charity that supports people with Cystic Fibrosis, their families and specialist CF centres and hospital units. CF Care know that many families and patients are struggling with the cost of living, travel to hospital, or the cost of re-training for work or enabling emotional counselling and much more. They provide hardship and welfare grants, emotional support, essential medical and physio equipment, and fund the training of CF nurses to provide a better quality of life for those with CF.

In terms of the challenge itself, ‘The Wall’ is a 70 mile run/walk held by Rat Race Adventures and runs from Carlisle Castle, to the Millennium bridge in Newcastle. There is a 26 hour time limit to cross the finish line, likely being some time in the early hours of Sunday morning!

Neither of us have ever done any long distance challenges before so we're going right in at the deep end for our first one! That being said, we’ve put the training miles in, most recently knocking off a 40 miler in preparation and are quietly confident going into the big day.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated for a cause that means a lot to Josh’s family and all those that have been affected by CF. We look forward to sharing the photos of 2 broken men on the finish line!
