Yes we are...

When I said "are you with me?"  7 other crazy people said "yes we are" :)

How lucky am I - two mini teams making up one big team. What an amazing team.  Of course we will will be part of a much bigger TCT team #teamlegend  - with TCT being the headline charity this year for the London Marathon.


I am truly honoured to have these wonderful people training and running with me not sure I could have done it on my own!!  We are all training in our individual ways and have a right old assortment of aches and pains to manage, but one way or another we are all going to get round the 26.2 miles on April 22. 

Team ELLA

The motley crew consists of:

Andy Tarzey, second time marathon runner, but its been a while since the first one, steady as he goes and a sure finisher. 

Ian James, fleet of foot from across the pond, this will be his third marathon outing, but a first London appearance, our team guru and expert. 

Jim Tarzey, like his twin he's run before in his youth, so this will be a stretch - but 2017 triathlon training will stand him good stead. Get there early to see him cross the line

Mark Kennedy , not happy on training runs, but loves and rises to a crowd on the day. A virgin marathon runner suspect this will be a first and last though.

Jo Redman, verging on the ridiculous! Previously struggled to cross the finishing line of a 10k, but steely grit and bloody mindness will see this veteran cross the finishing line come hell or high water.

 SACO London Marathon Runners

Insanity reigns - well it did the day we put our names forward to run the London Marathon. There are four of us in the SACO team - Clare (our guru - she's done it before), Dan (our coach and Mr Motivator), Ben (our Cornish plodder) and Jo (our team veteran). Come hell or high water, we will make it round the 26.2 miles and in doing so will raise a ton of cash for Teenage Cancer Trust, an amazing charity that supports Teenagers and Young Adults diagnosed with cancer.

All the money we raise will go to TCT and whilst helping them to deliver their fantastic support - is also in memory of Ella Redman who sadly died of cancer (Osteosarcoma) in November 2012 aged 20. It was her wish that there were better environments and support for young people like herself struggling with the anguish and complexities of a cancer diagnosis and the horrors that go with that.

So please dig deep and support us to reach our target and of course cross the finishing line
