On Friday 9th June the friends have set themselves the challenge of running 80 miles in 36 Hours.

Ann says it's not the first time the group have taken on such a challenge, but says this one is the biggest challenge so far.
2023 is a special year for four of the runners who are taking part as they will all have a zero on the end of their ages, in order to mark their birthdays the ladies have decided to take on the challenge to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.

"We would be so very grateful and appreciate your help in helping us to raise as much as we possibly can for this very worthy cause."
