We are passionate about care for the elderly, keeping fit and well as well as having a bit of fun. We like the idea of an event to inspire us to go further and at the same time raise money to help people in other parts of the world less fortunate then us.
We can’t promise that we will be the fastest or first across the finish line, but what we can promise is that we will take on this challenge with the same enthusiasm and commitment we take when looking after those in our care.
