Mrs Wisbey and Mr Spedding are both using their passions for long distance running to benefit others. They ran the Lydd 20 mile race on Sunday 12^th March as a warm up for their chosen Marathons. Mr Spedding is hoping to raise some money by participating in this year’s Manchester Marathon on April 2^nd. He is fund raising for Shelter and would appreciate any donation however small. His Just Giving account is https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rjsmarathon. He said “I am by no means unique in running a marathon but it is nonetheless a huge commitment (and I’m sure Mrs Wisby will back me up on that) so I thought I’d share some statistics to illustrate that: From the time I started training in December to the end of the marathon I will have: Run over 400 miles, spent over 54 hours running, burned 56000 calories just from running and eaten all of those calories back and more, mistakenly thinking I’ve earned them!”

Mrs Wisbey will be running the London Marathon on April 23^rd to raise money for the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People).  She asks “if anyone is able to sponsor me my just giving account is https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Jane-Wisbey1 and I would be really grateful.
