Story
Rich and Lou will both be running a total of 62 miles (a mile a day each) during the month of January, to raise money for Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF) in memory of Chris. For anyone who knows us well, will know that this will be a huge challenge as the only running we do is to the pub!!
As a family we have experienced first hand how s**t cancer is, however this unbearable time was made a little easier by the facilities and help that ELF are able to offer.
If you are able to donate to this worthy charity, no matter how little, it really would mean a lot to us (as well as give us a large kick up the ass!).
Thank you!
