Firstly thank-you for even clicking the fundraising link and bringing yourself to our page ❤️ 

We both know how every form of social media is bombarded with friends and family undertaking various different challenges and fundraising for so many amazing charities, so we really appreciate you reading our story 📖

This year we have both decided to complete the Virtual TCS London Marathon for Wimbledon Guild Charity - by virtual it means that we run the same distance (26. 2 miles), on the same day (2nd October) and at the same time as the London Marathon runners, however we can complete it from anywhere in the UK. 

Neither Tom or I were successful in obtaining a ballot place for the London Marathon this year, yet we felt we needed to partake in a similar challenge to physically push ourselves and work towards. So when the fabulous organisation that we both work for - Aires - mentioned that their chosen charity Wimbledon Guild had places for the virtual TCS marathon, we couldn't say no.

Wimbledon Guild offers practical help and support to the local residents of Merton with the aim of reducing social isolation and loneliness with befriending and counseling services, helping people who are experiencing difficulties and enabling older people to be active and live an independent life.
