Story

On the 30th October we will be participating in the Dublin Marathon, this will be our first full marathon, and to get us ready we will be doing the Royal Parks Half Marathon on the 9th October.

We have decided to keep the momentum going after breaking our Personal bests at Olympic Distance in Windsor and also Cardiff Triathlons. And then completing the Ride-London 100 mile in less than 5 hours, which smashed our 6 hour target!

We are Fundraising for Westminster Befriend a family as this is the Chosen charity of our Group 

We can relate to how hard life could be if circumstances where less favourable, we have worked hard to give our families the best chance at happiness but we know life isn't always fair and for many it definitely hasn't been easy!

Operating for over 22 years, Westminster Befriend a Family are now a first port of call for families living below the poverty line. Providing practical and emotional support they help to prevent family breakdown and separation and work to steer families in to a position of self-sufficiency and stability.

WBAF also work closely with disadvantaged children. The Young Peoples Project provides much needed social and recreational opportunities for children aged 8 – 16, helping them to achieve their potential, exercise their talents and ultimately to become well rounded and confident adults. Importantly the work of WBAF is about breaking the cycle of poverty and giving families and children the ability and opportunity to look after themselves and stay together.

Please help us to raise our target amount and make a real difference to struggling families in our community by making a donation!

Thanks Mike and Julian
