Running for homeopathy!
Stop press! Both Katy and Carly completed the run in some great times, Katy in 1:02:36 sec and Carly in 1:02:37. Well done to both! Katy adds:
Carly and I had to get up mega early at 6.15am. I couldn't sleep the night before! It was raining, so we had to give our kit in and wore bin bags to keep the rain off. There were 4000 runners, the atmosphere was amazing! We set off at 9am running through Warwick Castle gates, people were all out in the streets cheering. Carly set the pace and we kept that up all the way. Then I knew we were near Kenilworth Castle and began to speed up and managed to sprint at the end. We both had a free leg massage afterwards. We are going to run this again but for fun next time, we both felt the pressure that so many people had sponsored us, but thanks again to everyone that did. We are aiming for a half-marathon next year and are hoping again to run for the Homeopathy Action Trust. Thank you for your support.

Katy says: "'I'm a homeopath and a mother and I have got into running. I ran the 5kms run for Cancer Relief last July. I wanted to run for a charity that I felt passionate about and the Homeopathy Action Trust seemed the ideal cause. My eventual aim is to run the London marathon!" Carly adds: "I too am a mother and a Reiki practitioner. I started to run last year as I wanted to lose weight. I did two 5km runs last year for Cancer Relief. I'm a firm beliver in homeopathy and I use it for my children and for myself and I wanted to support a charity that I felt strongly about. This year we wanted to increase our expectations of ourselves and work towards the 10km Two Castles run."
Homeopathy Action Trust Executive Director, Simon Wilkinson-Blake says: "All of us at the Trust are grateful for Katy and Carly's fund-raising efforts and we wish them both the very best in their training and for the run itself. Please do support them and the Trust's work by donating generously!
