Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page. As many of you know, I (Beth) am not a runner, infact I hate running, but a very good friend, Claire, suggested to Michelle and I we should do the Hackney Half Marathon "it'll be fun"...she said. The only way I could have a chance of completing this challenge was with the help and support from Michelle; my trusty running partner!
Michelle impressively completed the London marathon in 2012 so is the perfect running partner / encourager / pace setter / picker upper and drag me homer.. However after almost a three year break from running, Michelle still has many miles planned to get ready for the hackney half!!
However, we love a challenge and for Beth who has always believed she was "not built for running" and once extremely proud to complete the 5k race for life...this is definitely going to be a huge challenge!!
We have chosen to use this opportunity to raise money for two fantastic charities, both are very close to my heart. We will be raising money for Epilepsy Research UK in memory of two beautiful ladies, my cousin Christy and school friend Sophie.
We have also chosen the Rhys Daniels Trust, a charity set up by a very good friend of mine, Carmen, in memory of her two children who were affected by Late Infantile Batten's Disease.
We had hoped to do a 50/50 split between the two charities, unfortunately through JustGiving we can't do this and instead have had to set up a team which has each charity page attached. Please see below for both pages and perhaps donate half your amount to one, and half to the other?!
Please support our challenge and help us to raise money for such fantastic causes.
