My Story

Most of you will know that Jack and I have been actively trying to lose weight for the past three years. In that time we've managed to lose just over 10 stone between us. For me doing the couch to 5k has been a big part of that, but im ashamed to admit I've actually started and failed to complete it three times.

Whilst we are very happy we've been slowly getting rid of the weight and improving our health, recently its been more of a struggle to get out running so our weight loss has slowed / stopped. 

To get either of us back running consistently it had to be for a good cause, suprise suprise to raise money for animals is the cause we've gone for! 

Did you know there are fewer than 2000 Nubian giraffes left in the wild and they urgently need our support. We are taking part in the Run for Nature at Chester Zoo to help protect endangered giraffe species from extinction. 

Thankyou all for your support. 5k may not seem like a lot to most people, however for two slightly less fat people than three years ago it still seems like a huge task. I'm also attempting to set my own goal of running the whole thing without stopping, something I think i'm going to majorly regret. So please any spare change you can donate to motivate us to keep running when we want to stop and help giraffes at the same time would be much appreciated!

The countdown to our run on the 21st September is officially on!
