Story

2020 was a right off... so we are now participating in the GNR 2021! 

We’ve had 2 years to prepare but we actually forgot we’d deferred our run so now we have 4 months to get fit together. It also gives me a goal to get rid of my lockdown weight gain, and what’s a better incentive then being able to help others! 

Karl and I thought this would be a memorable way to celebrate this new decade in our life would be to complete a half marathon together. 

Cancer has had an impact on so many of our close friends and loved ones in different ways and forms. Choosing one charity to support was difficult, but Maggie’s at the Freeman hospital has helped many of those we know. They offer free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their families and friends. Help is offered freely to anyone with any type of cancer. 

We wanted to thank them for the support they have given to others. 

All donations and support are hugely appreciated. 

Thank you

Love 

Laura & Karl
