Story
Louise & Zoë are running a half marathon on the 27th of July 2025. We are running this on behalf of Savers who are raising money for Marie Curie, which are our national charity partner.
Marie Curie provide incredible care and support for people living with terminal illness and every mile is for them.
Please see a little bit of our stories below.
Zoë:
When Louise asked if I wanted to do this challenge with her, it wasn't a straight away yes but when we decided to run and raise money for Marie Curie, I knew I couldn't say no and would start my running journey. I only started actively running in March this year and so far have been really enjoying it. Whilst every run has its challenges, I can't think of anything better than raising money for this incredible charity and also doing it with Louise by my side! Louise and I would love it if you could donate to our page and support us through this challenge which is BIG for both of us.
Louise:
I took part in a boxing match last year to raise money for charity and this year I am taking on something I think is much scarier....running! Anyone that knows me, knows that I would have much rather taken a punch to the face than go for a run. There are a few reasons for this but mainly I have always had problems with my feet and legs (already bled through a pair of running shoes) and I have just never really enjoyed it. However, at the end of February, I decided to start running and have now committed to running this half marathon with Zoë by my side, which for us both, is a massive massive challenge. All the pain is definitely worth it for this incredible charity though!!! and to get to do it with Zoë by my side 💖
If you can spare a few quid to support me and Zoë, and to convince my feet that it is all worth it, we would be extremely grateful.
