0 to Cowes: (lifted from Facebook)

We're off. Thanks to everyone for all the messages of support and sponsorship. We always had in mind that we wanted to raise £1000 and we are so close before leaving this morning we have raised the goal on our page to that. You can find the link at www.amileinherrunningshoes.blogpot.com
