Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On Sunday 22nd September Darren and myself will be running in the Great East Run - Half Marathon and at the same time looking to raise money for local Children's charity - Over The Rainbow.
In particular we hope to raise vital funds to assist the family of Ettie Curtis, a five year old who has sadly suffered permanent brain damage after a number of severe Epileptic seizures. Over The Rainbow have pledged to raise £10'000 to provide specialist equipment for Ettie and her family. See her story below:

We have both been training on the Active Suffolk Outreach 2019 programme which has been a life changing experience taking us from complete non-runners to distance runners in a few short months. We have met some truly amazing and inspiring people on this journey.
I think it's fair to say neither of us were natural runners so this is still a considerable challenge, but knowing we can raise some money for such a deserving cause will provide us with the extra motivation needed to reach the finish line!
Please give whatever you can afford as every penny will go towards making Ettie's future just that little bit easier. Thankyou.
