As myself and Jim approach our middle years (well you could say we are already there....) we thought it would be a brilliant idea to do something challenging  together that not only got us fitter and leaner but was just a little bit worthwhile!

I have worked at MAP over 15 years and this year the Charity celebrated its 25th Birthday so it just seemed the perfect  moment to go the extra mile  (No pun intended!)  for an organisation that I passionately believe in.  Jim is a very supportive husband and is always happy to do as he is told however all joking aside he too values the work that MAP does for young people in Norwich and Norfolk.

On a more personal note, I had some really difficult times as young person growing up and looking back if I had been supported by an organisation like MAP,  I know that some of the dark times I experienced would of been less lonely and difficult.  When the opportunity arose to work at MAP I jumped at it and I have never looked back all these years later.  I feel privileged to say that I work at MAP and will continue to do what I can to support  my amazing colleagues on the ground delivering vital work for amazing young people.

Jim is looking forward to losing some weight and spending quality time with his wife and all for a great cause too! 

Thanks so much for all love and support and please feel free to beep your horns, wave or gesture politely should you see us pounding the streets of Thorpe in preparation over the next months!
