Story

Myself, Ant, Phil and Dev will be 'running' the 2017 London Marathon...

We are running in memory of my brother, Edward Carter, who, as many of you will know, sadly passed away last year aged just 23. Eds was born prematurely and grew up blind and with severe cerebral palsy. However, this did not stop Eds from living the best possible quality of life! During his time with us, Eds loved any kind of 'adventurous' activities, and really enjoyed going on outdoor activity holidays, where he was able to take part in: abseiling, high ropes, canoeing, skiing, cycling, swimming, camping, sailing, and other sports! He had the opportunity to take part in such activities through the help of his family, schools, and charities... 

One such charity is Phab kids. Phab Kids are a relatively small charity, who run activity camps for children and young adults, who are disabled or disadvantaged, so that they have the opportunities to take part in such activities together... However, such specialist equipment and care, needed to run such programs doesn't come cheaply!

So please donate, so that others like Eds, get the opportunity to take part in such activities and help put a smile on their faces too!

Its going to be tough, but worth every penny raised for a great cause. Thank you for your generosity! 

Rich, Ant, Phil, Dev

P.S - There are 4 of us running this;  that's 4 times the early morning runs, 4 times the cold nights training, 4 times the mud, 4 times the pain, 4 times the distance!  So 4 times the donation!?
