Story

After years of eating too much, drinking too much and generally being lazy we were unfit and out of shape! James decided to run the London Marathon in 2015, completing it in a respectable time, and this inspired me to start running as well. After a lot of debating we decided to do the Nottingham Marathon together the same year, crossing the line hand in hand! James hit new heights in 2016, completing the Manchester and Nottingham Marathons with PB's in both as well as loads of other races. I however haven't completed a single race! That's going to change in 2017 and that starts with the London Marathon. We've decided to do some good whilst we do something we enjoy and raise money for the NSPCC and their new preventative mental health service for parents to be, Pregnancy in Mind. In 2016 James and Katie welcomed Austin to join Bella in their family, and me and Victoria have started our family with Athie, so this part of the NSPCC's work is close to all of our hearts.
