Story

Our 12 in 12 in 2012 challenge should be a breeze! We are aiming to complete 12 events in 12 months during 2012, across 4 countries, over 2 continents, on water, on foot, on bike, up hills, down lakes and in various forms of fancy dress!

We'll be running 61k, canoeing 18k, cycling 249k, climbing 5.6k, travelling 12,800k and eating a blue whale's body weight in pasta! That's not counting the trai...ning....

We're doing all this with the aim of raising at least £2012 to support the fight against Cystic Fibrosis [http://www.cftrust.org.uk/aboutcf/whatiscf/] and we need your help: follow us, sponsor us, support us or join us on an event... whatever you can do, we will appreciate it. Whatever else you do, spread the word!


THE EVENTS!
7th JAN - Great Winter Run (www.greatrun.org) It might only be 5k but it's bound to be snowing, raining or blowing a gale. Through in Arthur's Seat and it certainly is a challenge but hopefully one lots of people will feel able to join us on!

3rd FEB - Ultimate 80s Gym Class Challenge (Completing all the gym classes in Fitness First, Cathcart Road, Glasgow - approx 6 hours of any classes they'll throw at us while dressed in 1980s dayglow spandex!)

25th MAR - Bradford 10k (http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/involved/bradford10k) - Part of our goal is to take part in as many events across the country as we realistically can. As well as including this event in our FCF challenge we are making a separate donation to Epilepsy Action, a great charity that organise this event.
