Dear Friends,

Matty Callister and Rob Windsor have taken on the challenge of running the six major world marathons, each time raising money for amazing charities.

The Chicago 2024 marathon represents the 4th of our ‘six majors’, having previously completed New York, London and Berlin races, raising over £5000 to-date for macmillan cancer research and the Army Benevolent fund in the UK..

This year we are raising money for Mind Over Mountains - a wonderful charity that harnesses the unique benefits of the great outdoors to help improve the Mental Health for all in need of positive, restorative support. They offer a range of outdoor experiences to help individuals and teams restore their mental wellbeing ‘naturally’. Having met and been inspired by the founders, Matty has attended one of their unique “walk and talk’ sessions in the UK Peak district, so can vouch for the benefits of the experience first hand. if your interested in connecting with them , do see the details below.

If you have any money to spare, we would be so grateful if you could donate to this amazing charity.

Many of you who know us both well,will understand that we both quite enjoy a challenge! This year the training has not gone so well ( busy lives, both getting older, broken ankles) so we’ll not be breaking any PB’s. But most importantly we’re showing up at the start-line on the 13th October and are going to give it a good go!
