Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 11th April 2010, Sam Newbould and Andrew Hodgetts will take on 26.2 miles of Parisian terrain, to raise money for Get Kids Going! After administrative errors, we had been cruelly sidelined, and forced to abandon our marathon dreams. But in a dramatic turn of events, with little over 11 weeks until race day, we were told that we were back in...


So, 11 weeks to train, 26.2 miles to run, and an eager Newbould hoping to push veteran marathon runner Hodgetts to his limits...

THE CHALLENGE IS ON!

Hodgetts aims to break 3 hours 30 minutes.
Newbould is aiming for 4 hours in his first marathon.

Now here's where you come in! We are running to raise money for a national charity called Get Kids Going! This great charity provides young disabled children with sporting opportunities. This is achieved, for example, by providing specialist sports wheelchairs, sports grants and year round support. As keen sportsmen, we feel that everybody deserves the chance to be involved in sport, regardless of any disablities.

Please sponsor us, by donating to this great cause.
