Marathon efforts and event news

Somehow a whole year has passed since this blog was launched, and since the last London Marathon. Did someone press the fast forward button??

Quite apart from the marathon efforts of our wonderful supporters over the past year (you can read more here), this is a public promise to make an equal effort in keeping our blog more up to date....

Anyway, back to the news:


Helena Stone and friend Lynne are taking on the marathon challenge this weekend - you can sponsor them here

Good luck to you both!


If you don't fancy the marathon, how about joining us for this year's Hydroactive women's challenge - a more manageable 5km and a wonderful day out.

Registration is now open here


You can read about last year's race and the wonderful efforts of FNNU supporters here
