Three things you need to know about Sophie and Michael Jones:
1) We cannot run. Sophie hits the wall at 2k and a student diet of pizza and chips has hit Michael hard
2) We’re so competitive we’ve eaten an entire lemon each to see who could do it the quickest. This included the rind
3) In Sophie’s spare time she works for a charity that offers counselling for women who have been the victims of trafficking - http://www.streettalkuk.org/
Put all these things together and you have us competing to become the superior sibling by taking on the North London Half Marathon, while raising money for the amazing charity that is Street Talk.
The women we work with have grown up experiencing abuse and neglect, many have grown up in the state care system or in families who were not able to take care of them, feeling so worthless they turn to drugs as an escape which they fund through prostitution. The therapeutic services we offer help the women deal with the trauma they've suffered, and enable them to live safely and with dignity.
So please dig deep and donate; it’s going to be a big challenge for us both but it’ll be worth it if we can raise enough for this great cause.

P.S. Sophie won the lemon challenge
