2013 saw us complete Beachy Head marathon with friends, raising money for Cancer Research UK. After muttering the words 'Never Again', we've come to the conclusion that the feeling of completing such a daunting challenge and raising money for such an amazing cause far outweighs the pain and loss of toenails!

This year, we will be undertaking challenges both together and seperately to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Claire's Mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in winter 2012, and it's thanks to charities like CRUK that she is still here with us today.

March sees us both taking part in the Hastings Half Marathon, followed by Emma running in the Virgin London Marathon in April. May sees us both take on the biggest challenge by far, walking non-stop from London to Brighton (in 24 hours - we hope!) - 100km / 64 miles.

Although we will have smaller challenges under our belt, this will be by far our greatest. People assume that 'walking' makes this task easy. However the very fact it is non-stop will make it far from easy! Knowing that we will have your support will make all the difference,and any donations - however big or small, will go a long way. If you are able to donate, please feel free to add a 'conversation starter' for us to cover for when the going gets tough...approx 2.17am on sunday 25th May (when the sweets just aren't cutting it and we know each other's life stories inside out!)

Thankyou for taking the time to read this and support us, it means a lot to us :) Lots of Love, Claire and Emma xxxx
