Hi all

A marathon is a really really long way… as far as we can see the only really good reason to take one on in your 40s is for a great charity.

Cure Leukaemia are an amazing charity who help blood cancer patients access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies.

We’re getting scarily close to the big day now and we’re both pushing ourselves on the long training runs. It’s really hard work!!

But every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia raises awareness of the heavy burden of these diseases and helps save lives - so please be generous!
