Thank You!

 

We’re pleased to announce that we successfully completed the 2017 London Marathon! Thank you for all the support and encouragement - please read our latest blog and see photos from the day

About: The Challenge

 

In April, at the 2017 London Marathon, we're both aiming to run our first full marathon! We've already started our training, and you can follow our progress on our blog.

We're running for Compassion, an amazing charity that works with some of the worlds most vulnerable children. It's easy to forget how many children still live in poverty today, but hopefully by running the London Marathon, and with your help, we can make a difference.

As part of the Compassion Challenges Team we're raising money to help build much needed classrooms in Uganda - find out more here

You can also support by sponsoring a child. It costs just £25 a month to sponsor a child. Your sponsorship will bring hope to a child living in desperate poverty.

Thank you!
Elliot & Phil
