Hello friend, 

In just a few weeks we're attempting to run 10 whole kilometers.  Believe it or not, we're not doing it for fun either!  We're doing it to raise money for Connect.

Connect is a charity for people living with aphasia, a communication disability which usually occurs after a stroke or brain injury. Most of us take for granted our ability to communicate and if you try, it's hard to even imagine not being able to talk to our loved ones, to write an email or read a book. Aphasia can rob you of these basic things. Connect helps by supporting people with aphasia to regain confidence and re-connect with life.

It's fair to say our approach to training for the run has been sporadic, so we're not overly confident in our abilities to complete the course with any measure of dignity. It would be a massive boost to us on the day to know that we're raising lots of money for a charity that really, really needs it. 

Thanks!

Emma and Sarah
