Wow, neither of us can believe that we actually did it!! Months of training, stretched calf muscles, black toe nails and dodgy knee joints....all paid off. Crossing that finish line was oh, so sweet!
Many thanks to all who sponsored us to raise money for Carers UK. You are wonderful and because of you, it was all worthwhile.
