Hi Gorgeous Friends & Family,

We have both decided to get off our lazy bums and do something productive next month by signing up for the 50K in March challenge to raise money for Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Memory of our Niece and Angel in Heaven, Elaina Sophia Linaker.

Elaina was born on the 15th July 2012 and earned her wings at only 15 days old. She would have been 12 years old this year.

At the time this amazing hospital gave my Sister & Brother in Law precious time with their beautiful baby girl and our family the 'Hope' we all needed to get us through each day while she was so poorly.

Our wish is for any money raised will help give another family the same... Hope.

We are committing to EACH running 50K (lol) in March, a total of 100K combined. I say running with a smile because I know this challenge isn't going to be easy for us.

Since our twin boys were born in 2020 we have struggled to do any exercise and are extremely and I mean ridiculously unfit! We even get out of breath going up the stairs and when I'm walking with my mum I have to tell her to slow down as I can't keep up with her pace! She will testify to this! Hehe!

We are lucky enough to live near the coast and the plan is for us to take it turns and run along the bank at the back of our house adjacent to the coast line every evening in March before the sunsets. One of us will stay home and look after the boys while the other is jogging along and then switch places. We may need to adjust things depending on circumstances as the month goes along but that's the general idea.

We are grateful for any donation no matter how big or small as it all goes towards reaching our end goal 🙏

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your support.

All our Love

Katie & Paul (Team Ham)
