We're going to carry our sorry old legs over the 26mile (42km) course of the London Marathon.

Tony is doing this despite being born in the neolithic period. In fact, this will be his sixth London Marathon and apparently they don't get easier.

On the other hand, this is Bec's maiden voyage. Look at her fuller physique: there's a reason she hasn't attempted this before.

However, cancer feels like one endless tremor in our lives. It has taken away too many people close to us and still touches those around us - in the UK and Australia. We've chosen to raise money for AICR which funds scientists around the world to combat this disease.

Please help us by donating money. We're enduring blisters, buggered knees, aching joints and brutal training runs to make it worth your while. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple and secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. It’s the most efficient way to donate.
