UPDATE 28/5/2018  We did it!  Yesterday we (Sam, Allanna, Iain & me) ran the Edinburgh Marathon relay in 3hrs and 51mins.  After the run we headed down to the Leonard Cheshire unit that we were raising funds for and were treated to well earned burgers and a beverage or two to celebrate.  A massive thank you to everyone that has supported us both through donations and words of encouragement - it has meant so much!

UPDATE 21/7 - I am having to concede defeat in completing the run this year.  The stress fracture of my heel is taking a little longer to heal that I had originally hoped.  Iain and I have now set our sights on taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2018 which should give me lots of time to make sure that I have recovered from my injury as well as getting back to the required fitness.  Thanks so much for all the good wishes and understanding....

UPDATE 8/5 - Most of you will know that I (Yvonne) have had to pull out of the Edinburgh Half due to injury.  Iain has very graciously agreed to run with me in The Scottish Half in September.  For the moment I am hobbling about but have now started physio and hope to be back to running before too long for this fantastic cause.  I promise to keep you all posted on progress.

So some of you will be chuckling to read that I (Yvonne) am attempting this!    Iain is both young and fit enough to do this but it's down to Iain "tricking" his Aunt into it that I am now taking part. That said we've both been putting in the training to help us try and be ready.  I suspect that we will both have very different finishing times but are both keen to run for this great cause.

We've seen first hand the fabulous work that Leonard Cheshire do through helping their residents to do as much as they can.  Any small amount that you are able to donate will be greatly appreciated by them and keep us focused on reaching that finish line.....
