Story

Yes - we are running a half marathon together!  

If you had told us this 26 years ago when we first met, we would have laughed at you...but here we are, trainers at the ready and raring to go!

We have decided to run for charity (as this could be the first and last time we ever do something like this together) and have chosen to support Embracing Arts - a charity that brings theatrical experiences to children with special educational needs or life limiting conditions.  Their interactive, multi-sensory shows, parties and workshops are tailored to the unique needs of each audience and use storytelling, song, music and puppetry to entertain, engage and educate.

One of the founders of Embracing Arts is our friend Sue Appleby who  originally set up the charity to bring a bit of Christmas joy to children in need of a ray of sunshine in their lives.  The charity has gone from strength to strength and we are proud to be supporting them on their continuing journey.

We appreciate money is tight for most of us right now but if you can spare anything to help them out and cheer us on, we would be hugely appreciative.

Love,

Kathryn & Rob x
