Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are slighty barmy and have decided to run, not one, but two marathons within the month of April (Brighton followed by London 3 weeks later!!) to raise money to support one of Mencap's smaller network-partner charities, 'Shining Stars UK'. Our friend, Laura, will now also be running for Shining Stars too. 

Shining Stars is a small community based charity that does amazing work close to our homes in the city of Lichfield and across Staffordshire. It supports adults with learning disabilities to attend a wide range of social events, including discos, day trips, running clubs, trampolining and netball. Their latest project is to produce accessibility review videos for a variety of different venues/tourist attractions across the UK. 

We would love to raise money to help fund their ongoing work in our home city and thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
