Story

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Three People. One Challenge. One Amazing Cause. ❤️

Rachel, Dawn and Ian are taking on the Great North Run!!

Dawn will be running to the finish line

Rachel will be attempting to run, walk, crawl — and, if necessary, beg for a piggyback.

And Ian will be hobbling heroically to the finish line, courtesy of a knee injury. 🦵😂

So why on earth are we putting ourselves through this?

Because we want to raise money for the amazing work of the Congo Children’s Trust. ❤️

The Congo Children’s Trust does incredible work supporting vulnerable children and communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, helping to provide opportunities, education, care and a brighter future for children who desperately need it.

We know that our questionable running abilities may not exactly inspire Olympic glory, but we’re hoping they can inspire you to dig deep and donate!

Every pound raised will help support the incredible work of the Congo Children’s Trust — and knowing that our aching legs, dodgy knees and questionable decision-making can help make a difference makes it all worthwhile.

So please sponsor us if you can. No donation is too small, and every penny will be hugely appreciated.

And if you see us on the day… please cheer loudly. Especially if Rachel is crawling. 😂

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️

Dawn, Rachel & Ian 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
