HELLO
This is Twenty plus Six. A blog set up by Georgina Marmoy and Joshua Smith.
We've set this blog up together, as a couple.
SO...
What's the story morning glory?
WELL...
We've been together for 4 years, 3 months, 28 days, 5 hours and 26 minutes.
We have also decided that 2013 is going to be our year, but the primary reason that we have set up this blog, for now, is to run alongside our little bid to earn a bit of money for charity, and have chosen NACC.
The reason for this is that we are both long time sufferers from different forms of the diseases that NACC help people deal with.
Georgina was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2010 but that's only half of it. Shortly after her initial diagnosis we awoke at 5am on a Saturday morning and had to rush to hospital. Something had set her stomach off particularly badly and so her small intestine and part of her stomach had to be removed. There was a genuine worry that she would have to spend Christmas in Hospital, but thankfully, a week later she was discharged and on the mend, though couldn't eat as much Turkey as she wanted to!
In 2005, whilst undergoing his GCSE exams, Joshua was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. This was combated with a mixture of steroids and other medicines aimed at reducing the inflammation. Currently, he takes four tablets a day to manage his illness and has learnt to live with it as much as one can hope to.
But that's the boring bit over. On 17th March 2013 we shall run 13.1 miles in the Fleet Half Marathon. All in aid of NACC.
We would love for you to join us, both physically (if you can make it) and on here. This blog will show our training, diet and feelings as we run our little butts off (or something like that!) as well as all the fun stuff that we do along the way.
For the ease of your viewing, from now on, Georgie shall write like this, while Josh will write like this.
Every post will also include a link to our JustGiving page. All we ask is that you give what you can.
Happy reading!
Josh and Georgie
