Fundraising for Get Kids Going!
The Big 4-0 in the Big Apple!
To help us come to terms with turning 40, we wanted to do it in style and tick something off the Bucket List in the process. Inspired by our local heroes, Eilish McColgan, Laura Muir and all the other "proper" athletes this year, we decided to take part in the New York City Marathon on 6th November!
(and yes, getting a break from the toddlers and husbands whilst we train and travel to NYC is an added incentive! )
We are raising money for UK charity Get Kids Going, who gives children and young people the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport (more below). We know that everyone is a bit strapped for cash just now but if you can spare a few pounds for this amazing charity, please do and consider it your birthday present to us!
Wish us luck!
