Story

We are Team Doorstep! We've come together to support Doorstep Library, an amazing children's charity whose work in empowering lives through the joy of reading is dear to our hearts.

We're Naomi, Eliza, Alayna, Matt and Sandy and our half marathon story so far has been full of twists & turns, triumphs and disasters (see below for latest update). But with your support we're confident there'll be a happy ending! We've been training diligently these past few months - before work, after work, on holiday - wherever & whenever we can. Some of us have run before, some not. Some have run long distances, some not. Some are fighting fit, some not quite so. But we've accepted the challenge to run together to raise funds for this incredible charity (although, to be fair, I think one or or two of us may end up crawling..). Every single pound we raise helps us to help a child experience the joy of reading and offer them the potential to change their own story. If you can support us in our endeavours, that would be amazing.

Thankyou!

UPDATE at 23/09/22: Oh no! Sadly Matt and Naomi are unable to run on the day - Naomi on health grounds & Matt for technical reasons. But Team Doorstep is Team Doorstep and Matt & Naomi will be with us on race day out on the course, cheering us on and getting us across that finish line. Matt is committed to running for Doorstep and will complete his own half marathon before the event. Nice one, Matt!
