** update 15/10/2023.

Hello! Thank you to everyone who has donated & supported children facing cancer as well as Jin & I!

I achieved a time of 3:47:10 putting me almost 15 mins ahead of my goal & Jin smashed it in 4:21:06 almost beating her goal by 10 minutes.

We will be running 80 miles each over a two-week period during the fortnight of fitness for the Team Luke Foundation. This is in preparation for the York Marathon on October 15th.

All of our training runs & eventually, the marathon results will all be shared here.

Please help us raise as much as we can! Thank you for any contribution, for sharing or for whatever you are doing to help raise awareness & funds for such a worthwhile cause.

This is a brief overview of the foundation’s mission statement for Luke:

The Team Luke Foundation is a registered charity set up as a legacy to Luke Bell, an inspirational 8 year old Darlington boy who died from Neuroblastoma in December 2018, only 21 months after his original diagnosis. Its aim is to make more people aware of this childhood cancer, help parents access key services & information, provide practical support, & fund research to improve diagnosis & develop kinder treatment. It’s a daunting list but Luke’s parents, Mark & Becky Bell, are determined to do all they can to make a difference in Luke’s name.

Thank you very much!

- Alex & Jin

Thanks to everyone who donated and helped us reach our goal! We both managed the miles during the two weeks and are both approaching being ready for the marathon. Will update the times we achieve here!
