Story
This is a charity close to my heart - Some of you may know of my uncle Neil, he has Down's syndrome and is a regular user of our local Mencap in Keynsham. They provide regular social clubs, holidays and events for people with disabilities and without them Neil's and many others lives would be very isolated. We cannot thank Mencap enough for all they do and the only way I could think of doing so - is to run 26.2 miles 🤦♀️
Luckily Cat has agreed to do it with me - Our target is £2,500 each and it is so important we hit the £5k. We know times are hard but please sponsor what you can - think of us pounding the streets as we train: the only thing that will keep us going then and on the day is the thought of all the sponsors and what joy the money will bring to so many lives.
We thank you in advance 😘
