Hi everyone, thank you for visiting our page!!

We have decided to run the Brentwood half marathon in March for Acts of Hope as this is a charity that is very close to our hearts. Acts of Hope provides education and basic healthcare for children from impoverished homes in the urban slums of India. Charlie and myself went out to visit the school in the Summer of 2012. (This was the 4th time Charlie had been!) The experience really opened my eyes to the poverty in these areas but it was encouraging to see the charity making such a difference to the lives of many.

I can not think of a better reason to put myself through something I know I am going to hate every minute of.. needless to say the people that know me best have their doubts about me completing it at all... Charlie on the other hand is aiming to beat her impressive time of 1 hour 52. With your help and support, I think these goals are definitely acheivable.

Please please please give whatever you can to help enrich the lives of some of India's mmost vulnerable children.
