Story

Hi! Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

This year we both decided to get fit, & do something worthwhile, so this is it!

For those of you who know us well, you will realise how much of a challenge this is going to be for Helen (a non-runner!), but we are both willing to put ourselves through this in order to raise as much money as possible for NCH. Check out their webpage to see all the fantastic work that NCH do www.nch.org.uk

We plan to keep updating this page so that you can follow our progress. We may even add pictures - no laughing please!  

So, please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: NCH, the children's charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.

April 18th 2008 - training is going pretty well. We ran in Corbridge together at the weekend - much more scenic than Ormskirk, even despite the huge dead badger I almost stepped on!

September 28th 2008

Yikes - only 1 week to go......and we are both full of cold! We are battling to get ourselves fit & pushing for sponsorship as we enter our last week before the big day. Nerves & excitement in equal measure....can't believe how fast it has come around....keep your fingers crossed for us & don't forget to watch on the day!

October 6th 2008

Well - we did it! Stephen ran with me (although most people know he could have done a much quicker time on his own).....his support meant that we made it in 2 hours 29 minutes......and I am absolutely delighted with that time.

A huge thank you to all our supporters & everyone who has sponsored us for this event - your money makes a real difference

Ste is already thinking about next year......ask me when I can move again :-D
