Story

We are all so very excited to tell you that the three of us...that'd be Andy, Sarah AND Chris will all be running the Yorkshire Marathon on October 20th in memory not only of Simon, our brother, but also in memory of John Keith....Chris's fab dad.  

We've been training long and hard to do the best we can to get round the 26.2 mile route and, we've realised it's not going to be easy.  

Andy and Sarah have a bit of experience when it comes to marathons but this is Chris's first and we were very surprised when he said that he'd do it!  But, with only a few weeks to go, training is on schedule and, barring catastrophic injury, we should all be on our way.  

Simes and JK were, like so many millions of others, victims of cancer and they are never very far from our thoughts.  By running the marathon with them in mind, it gives us a focus...their faces will get us round the course and give us time to remember what amazing people they were.  We aim to raise as much money as possible in their memory. 

And this is where you come in....

Anything you can donate to this site will be enormously appreciated and make a huge difference to the lives of those currently battling cancer.  It'll also make the joint 78.6 tortuous miles that Chris, Andy and Sarah are running that morning a litle bit easier.  Your generosity is hugely appreciated. 

Oh...and if you live locally and want to show your support, here's a link to the route so you can plan your spot....
