🎉 We did it!

25km completed ✅

The blisters, hills and aching legs were all worth it. A huge thank you to everyone who supported, donated and cheered us on along the way.

We're incredibly proud to have taken on the Ultra Challenge together as a team, supporting one another every step of the way and crossing the finish line together 💚

We're still recovering, but there's still time to support our efforts. If you'd like to donate, you'll find the link in the comments 👇
