Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

After a few festive drinks at the Christmas party Rob came up with the idea of each running 100 miles within 12 weeks to raise money for the incredible charity that is SANDS. 

SANDS is a charity that is very close to my heart as my husband and I  lost our little boy Joshua in 2013. Will and I always vowed we would make every moment count, and to do as much as possible to raise money for SANDS & help support the incredible job that they do.

So of course when Rob came up with the idea of doing this challenge, I was totally up for joining him! Since then I've sadly had to pull out of this group as I had an operation in February and am unable to exercise for 6 weeks! Toni has also suffered an injury after completing 40 miles, however we’re both going to run this challenge again starting on the 1st April!

So we will have two separate teams, where every individual will be running 100 miles within the 12 weeks! We are all being helped and encouraged along by our superstar athlete Esther who is helping to keep everyone going. All of the runs have to be tracked via Strava so we can keep track of everyone's progress and prove they've done their 100 miles! 

Group 1 will run between 1st Jan - 31st March and is made up with Rob, Pav & Jamie.

Group 2 will run between 1st April - 23rd June which is so far Cat & Toni. If you'd like to join this group then please let me know!

Thank you so much for support us and helping to raise money for this incredible charity! 

Cat, Rob, Toni, Pav, Jamie
