Story

Yes we are DOING IT!

Mark n Chris are running the world's biggest marathon, and it's now just a few weeks away!

We're officially signed up, paid up, we've got the horrendous pink t-shirts, Martin Degville from Sigue Sigue Sputnik's making us matching pink mohawk wigs and we're hoping to raise at least 3 grand for charity.

Oh yes and we're running 6 days a week in training. Hill runs, threshold runs (where u run so fast u feel like you're on the threshold between life and death), regular runs and big phat long runs.

Money will go to the Parkinson's Disease Charity, to help people with support, research and life-changing brain operations like the one Mark's Stepdad Terry had earlier this year.

Here's the official Justgiving spiel:

'Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: the Parkinson's Disease Society get your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.'

So yes, dig deep if u can, and please forward this link to anyone u know who might like to help us too!

Fingers crossed we can make it!

Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet. Funding research into the most promising treatments, we’re getting closer to a cure. Until then, we're improving life for people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. Together we'll find a cure.
