Hey everyone,

We're going to be running the Rome and London Marathons this year to raise money for two great charities in memory of our friend, Rory. Last summer, we tragically lost Rory to his struggles with mental health. We'll be running for two causes in his memory: OCD-UK and Cruse Bereavement Care.

OCD-UK is a charity that provides support, information and resources for people affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Rory had been diagnosed with OCD, and it would be brilliant to raise some money to help other people going through some of the difficulties he was.

Cruse Bereavement Support provides free care and counselling to people suffering from grief. They directly helped over 100,000 people last year, and the Herefordshire Cruse branch has provided invaluable support to Rory's family since he passed away.

Whatever we raise we will divide equally between these two fantastic charities. Joe will be running the Rome Marathon on March 19th, and Sam will be running the London Marathon on April 23rd.

Please help us reach our £2000 target!

Any amount donated is hugely appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Joe and Sam
