Two Friends, One Big Goal: The Meeting Needs Half Marathon

Ryan Brierley-Doyle & Sigita Pjampite Joint Fundraising Page

We’ve already tackled Hyrox this year — not for fundraising, just for fun (and maybe to prove to ourselves that we’re stronger than we think). After surviving that madness, we thought… why stop now?

So here we are, signed up for The Meeting Needs Half Marathon, ready to take on our next challenge.

Being both friends and colleagues means we spend a lot of time together anyway, so adding long‑distance running into the mix just felt right. We hype each other up, drag each other out when motivation dips, and share plenty of “why are we doing this again?” moments along the way.

This time, though, we’re running for a cause. We want our effort to make an impact — and that’s where you come in. Every donation, share, or cheer helps us get one step closer to our goal (and gives us a boost when our legs are questioning our life choices).

We’re excited, we’re determined, and we’re definitely a little bit chaotic — but we’re doing this together.
