Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

After our children  left home and became settled and we weren't needed to help with our grandchildren after they started school it was a challenge to find something outside of work we could enjoy and take an interest in together. We started running just over a couple of years now . It wasn't an instant love affair, rather one that has grown over that time and has developed the more we get to know other people who share our passion and the ability to motivate, support and  encourage others to start, continue or progress. Over this time we've progressed from our first 5k, then 10k until  now we can say we've completed several half marathons races. The next goal in our running was for us to undertake the challenge of a full marathon.  Not knowing whether it will be something we would want to partake in again, we wanted to give the "big one" a shot. 

Since Rachael participated in the Weldmar Strictly Come Dancing Challenge we have both become great supporters of our local Weldmar Charity and their fund raising events. Cancer affects so many of us and our loved ones so its amazing to know that such a fabulous hospice Weldmar is and the support and services they provide to their patients and families is totally invaluable. We find ourselves in a very privileged position at having them  right on our doorstep. 

We are sure the training will be gruelling at times but we are both extremely conscientious and determined  and know that every step we take will be worth it when we achieve our target sum for our chosen charity. This can only be done with the generous help from loved ones and friends. Please, please help us to  achieve our goals for our charity by giving what you can. 

Sincere thanks,

Nigel and Rachael
