Rustington duo set for 100k challenge
The friends, of Kirdford Close, Rustington, and Michelle’s cousin Claudio Rodriguez, from Croydon, are taking part in the London 2 Brighton Challenge, a 100km (62.2 miles) run/walk from Richmond Park to Brighton, on May 25.
Calling themselves the Kirdford Crew, Michelle, 32, Caroline, 31 and Claudio, 37, are being sponsored for Tourettes Action, a charity helping people with Tourettes to be included in education and society, and supporting research.

Setting off at 6am, the trio hope to complete the run in 13-14 hours and Michelle, pausing for breath during a 41-mile training session to Brighton and back, said their preparations were well on course.
They have set a target of raising £1,400 and would welcome support on their donation site, www.justgiving.com/caroline-toms1
