Story

Reasons for which I would pay to see myself and little sister run 10km:

1: We enjoy eating. A lot. Therefore trying to curb this to get fit will be some feat.

2: We enjoy sleeping in. A little too much.

3: We are the two most unfit beings known to man. See above for explanation.

4: Running...Ha. ha.ha. See picture for details. Infact for a more accurate image of us running see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_0Ta_DIWuU

5: We have never been in any kind of fitness related competition. Eating competitions? yes.Drinking competitions? Yes. Mini Marathons? No.

6: I (rosie) cannot even run on Wii Sports.

7: If we raise enough we will do the entire thing in fancy dress of some kind.

8: We do have the best intentions and will do this for this important cause.

Thanks for visiting our Just Giving page.

Jane and I are running for the Neurofibromatosis Association, one that is very close to our hearts.

Our brother Tom, just 24, is a suffer of the rare and debilitating condition. As a result he has innumberable tumours on the nerve endings along his spine and sciatic nerve, causing him to be in severe pain, alongside the other associated problems, such as Hydrocephalus and partial deafness.

As this condition has no known cure it is essential that money is raised to go towards vital research. We are hoping to raise money for this underfunded charity and to raise awareness of this condition.

This is a really good cause and will make a considerable morale boost for Tom to know that there are people out there good enough to take time to understand what this condition is and to donate money to this charity.

Thankyou for your time and donations,

Rosie (Big Geiger) and Jane (Little Geiger)
