Mum was delighted when she found out her mother's day present this year was entry into a half marathon, when what she actually wanted was a relaxing spa day.

However this one has the added motivation of raising money for the charity that looked after our nan last year, Saint Francis Hospice. It's a centre of excellence in the care of those with life limiting illnesses and we really can't praise them enough and are keen to give something back to say a big thank you.

So please dig deep to help us hit our target...we've got until October and we need all the help we can get. On our first training run I had to break it to mum that 1.3km was NOT the same as 13.1miles....this is going to be a monumental challenge!

Keep checking this page to see our eagerly awaited 'motivational montage', and our 'guess the iconic film training poses' coming soon...

So please dig deep and donate now.
