Story

It's been 6 years since we ran our first marathon together at Brighton in April 2018. Since then we have ran together in Dublin, Manchester, Suffolk, Norfolk, London and New York over distances of 5km to 26 miles.

In 2025 we have decided to go LARGE and head to Tokyo for one of the best marathons in the world.

We have paid for our trips but wanted to raise money for 2 charities that are close to our hearts. All money goes directly to the charities. Any donations will really help to motivate us in our training during the hard winter months.

Challenging MND support people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and their friends and families. "Through unwaivering support and empowering experiences, we stand beside those facing MND, offering solace, understanding, and a sense of belonging." I've seen first hand the incredibly positive impact this Charity has on peoples' lives.

Beat (Eating Disorders) aims to put an "end to the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. We are inspired by the people we serve, by the difference we can make, and by our commitment to each other."

Thank you for your generosity
