It's true we must be mad running our first marathon in our fifties!

 Julia and Mary have been running together for over 10 years and although we've run a few half marathons, and had talked a lot about doing a marathon, it had never happened. UNTIL NOW.... Not only are we very excited about running the iconic London marathon in April, but we are very honoured to be running for a charilty close to both our hearts - Guys and St Thomas' hospital. Julia trained at Guy's and St Thomas', and has worked there for many years. Mary and Julia both gave birth to a number of their children there whilst living in London and have both experienced the amazing care of the hospital teams for three of our boys who have been treated at Guy's and St Thomas. Over the years we have both seen how the charity has supported the dedicated teams in these hospitals in developing new treatments, backing world leading research and supporting critically ill patients during challenging times for the NHS. 

Caring for patients and their families, as well as prioritising the well being of all the hard-working staff, is at the heart of everything they do and so by donating today you will be helping them go that bit further beyond what the NHS can provide.  

 Thank you so much for your support!
