Story

So basically cancer sucks but the people at Macmillan help make it a little better for those who are suffering. Our friend Ian was one of those people. Quiet, unassuming but always there, his presence is sorely missed. He left us in May 2020 and we didn’t even get a proper goodbye. So we just want to find a way to say thank you to the people who could be near him and helped him when we couldn’t. Help us support those people. 

We know things are not normal at the moment so if we can’t run the actual races we will go with a virtual option wherever we can.  

We are committed to running 3 races in 3 months in 3 countries! 

  1. August- Antrim Coast Half Marathon (Larne, Northern Ireland)
  2. September - The Great North Run (Newcastle, England)
  3. October - Loch Ness Marathon (Inverness, Scotland. Gillian’s 1st EVER Marathon!!!)

Give a quid, give two. Everything makes a difference. Thank you!!
