I’m joining the race to help beat childhood cancer by taking part in RBC Race for the Kids

Two things you should know before you sponsor us: we are not runners, and we will be blue!

The Smurfs idea did not come from us (yes, yes... it's not Disney) but we have fully embraced it. We have trained as hard as Smurfs train for anything (not at all), so honestly, every meter we cover will be small miracle and a big laugh. 

But here's the serious bit: We are doing this for Great Ormond Street Hospital, an organisation that does life-changing work for children  and families who need it the most. Every pound raised genuinely helps - and it also directly funds our motivation to keep going past the first bend instead of quietly hiding behind the a tree in our Smurf hats. 

So go on - sponsor two amateur Smurfs. The more you give, the harder we'll pretend to run! 

Whatever you are able to give, thank you. It genuinely means so much to us that you'd support something Anjali and I care about, and every donation goes towards a hospital that changes children's lives when they need it the most. We're so grateful to have you  in our corner.
