Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Team WTF... Where's the finish?! consists of:

Helen aka The Motivator.  The expert runner and pace setter, her favourite phrases include 'Man up!' and 'You've got that water bottle AGAIN?!' Has run a half marathon before.

Izzy aka Wet Lettuce. Never runs without water. Doesn't like to run in rain, baking heat, snow, ice... Has never run a half marathon before.

Last year, we decided to sign up for a half marathon, with no motive other than "to see if we could do it". 14th September 2014 was a hazy date in the distance. 13 miles? There's plenty of time, we thought; regular runs, gradual increase of mileage...

... July 2014. Neither of us had run more than 4 miles over the whole year. Fail. We needed to get cracking. And so, we've kept at it and the possibility of us running 13 miles (in a half decent time) is beginning to look more and more likely.

We've decided to support Sheffield Mencap and Gateway, a charity who provide services and support for children and adults with learning disabilities, for who our friend (Nina, originally part of team WTF) works for.

It doesn't matter if you can spare a few pence or a few pounds, please help us in supporting this amazing charity.

Love Helen and Izzy
