Two idiots, one mission

Run 50 Miles in October

Wow!💙


We honestly can’t believe it!


When Mark and I set ourselves the challenge of running 50 miles each throughout October, we set a fundraising target of £300 and hoped we’d manage to reach it.


Well… thanks to all you lovely people, we’ve absolutely smashed it and are now sitting at an incredible £656!! And we are only half way through the month 🫶


We are genuinely blown away by everyone’s kindness and generosity. Every single donation, share and message of encouragement means so much more to us than you probably realise.


As many of you know, we’re doing this for our dad, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago. Being able to raise this money for a cause so close to our hearts makes every aching leg and questionable decision to go for a run worth it! 


We’re only halfway through October, so there’s still plenty of miles to go, well for me anyway, Mark is almost at the 50 mile goal!!🥳


From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us so far. We really couldn’t have imagined such an amazing response.💙

50 Miles for Dad💙

We are Mark and Laura, a brother and sister duo from Aberdeenshire! This month we are taking on a challenge to fundraise for a cause that means a lot to both of us — we will be running 50 miles each to raise money for prostate cancer research.

Just over two years ago, our dad was unfortunately diagnosed with prostate cancer. This news is something you can never fully prepare for and it has had a huge impact on all of our family. 

Thankfully, our dad, Dougie has shown incredible strength and positivity throughout it all, and we wanted to do something to support him and help raise awareness and money for such an important cause. He really does inspire all of us. 

Every donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to us. Your support will help raise money towards prostate cancer research, awareness and support for men and their families going through it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and, if you can, for supporting us on our 50-mile challenge. Every mile we do, we do it for dad!
