Story

In November 2015 we lost Devra Grugel ( Ian's sister ) aged 50 after a 7 year battle with breast cancer and then 13 months later on New Year's Day 2017  we lost Michelle Brown ( Sarah-Jane's sister ) aged 38 also to this cruel disease.

In their memory, we are raising awareness of the importance of BRCA1 genetic testing  and at the same time recognising the invaluable and amazing care  provided by Marie Curie to both of our sisters.

With Ian about to hit 50 and adopting the spirit and words of our sisters that "life is for living" we are undertaking a challenge of a lifetime which will also raise essential funds for Marie Curie.

UPDATE

And so the time has come .. we fly to India tomorrow !!

Including off line donations we have raised just short of £16,000 which is amazing - thank you all so much.

A MASSIVE  thanks to Charlotte & Jon Solomon who completed Tough Mudder and raised an amazing £3145.68.

We ate still collecting and hope to get to close to £20,000.
