Story

Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page.

You're Doing What!
2016 marks Kerry's 40th birthday, and to celebrate this milestone she's decided to run her first marathon.

However, not only has she roped me in, we have both signed up
for TWO of the world's "major" marathons - London (24th April) & Berlin (September 25th)!

We might even throw in a few extra events during the year for good luck - so we will keep all our supporters posted!!

Rainbows
We've decided to undertake this dual challenge  to support Rainbows Hospice - an amazing organisation  that is very close to our hearts.

Many of our friends will already be aware of, and have supported Rainbows in the past  - as Sophie, the daughter of our mutual friends Matt & Jane was cared for in Loughborough  at many times during her life.

it is a really special place run by some truly amazing people, giving life-limited children and their families much needed care and support.
 
A special place and a truly worthy cause.

Sophie
For those of you who did not know her, Sophie Byrne was a remarkable person who touched and enriched the lives of all those that she came into contact with.

She is sadly missed but warmly remembered by her loving
family and an enormous number of friends.

Our fundraising celebrates Sophie's life and the huge positive
impact Rainbows had on her and her carers' wellbeing.

We've put a few pictures up of the beautiful Sophie with Matt and Jane.

Donating
Whilst we're running two marathons, don't worry, we're not expecting two donations!

Any contribution you can make - however big or small - will be greatly appreciated and help make all our pain and suffering feel worthwhile!
