Story

We are excited to be running the River Ayr Way ULTRA Marathon again this year on the 17th September 2016. It’s a 40 mile run on trail and road.

We are running for the 'Break the Silence' charity this year. Why, you may ask?

Whilst running many miles in preparation for the Ultra and “trying to put the world to rights” (as you do) we have built a close friendship and through this Allison found the strength to discuss an extremely difficult experience from her past. The help and support from Family, Friends and 'Break the Silence' has led to Allison realising that she is a Survivor.

'Break the Silence' is an independent Voluntary Organisation established to provide a range of free and confidential support services to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Unfortunately, there are many more of yesterday's children struggling, as adults, to deal with the abuse they suffered as a child. Therefore, we are asking you to sponsor us on our 40 mile run, to help fund this worthwhile charity and to also raise awareness of the good work done by 'Break the Silence'.

We would like to thank all of our amazing Family and Friends for their continued support.
