Hello, welcome.  We're Katie and Samantha, two complete running novices sharing their journey from non-runners (not sure that's an official term but you get the gist!) to competitors in the London Marathon 2017 - an ambitious stride to raise vital funds for Genetic Disorders UK.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, so if our journey inspires you then all we would ask is that you send Genetics UK a small donation through this page.

Every penny you donate will not only help us stay on that treadmill just a little longer and on the day get us over that finish line to bag our first ever Marathon but will importantly support the vital work of Genetic Disorders UK, and for that we thank you kindly.
