Story

Me and my lovely friend Jo have set ourselves the challenge of running 13 Marathons in 13 months, and we are hopeful that you lovely people will dig deep and sponsor us to help us raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK... We will do the hard bit and run the marathons, you can do the easy bit and donate your spare change to this amazing charity, to encourage us along the way!
All Races will be logged via my Nike Running App on my phone, so our progress can be monitored and proof can be provided at any point :)
We will be ending the challenge in December 2015 with our very first ULTRA MARATHON!

In between the monthly marathons I will also be taking part in various other events, including 3 Duathlons, and both the 5k and 10k Race for Life!
