Story

THE LONG WAY THERE.......

Now, I know this sounds like the sequel to the "Long way down" but sadly it does not involve Ewan McGregor (sorry girls) nor a robust BMW African twin touring motorcycle (sorry boys)... but rather it involves 2 girls who are making their way across London in aid of the Starfish Greathearts Foundation. A few months ago, we had a momentary lapse of sanity and decided to tackle london the "long way down and around" by slipping on pairs of Asics gel Nimbus trainers (the Ferrari of running shoes) and committing to THE LONDON MARATHON 2008.  So all this time we have been pounding the pavements and flexing our muscles, we now call upon you to de-pound your wallets and flex your financial muscles and help us raise as much as we can for our mobile "moola making" mission.

Thanks a mill for your support, and we hope to see you on the day as we cross the finish line in 1hour 23 minutes and 6 seconds!
