Story

Well... us 2 girls are hanging up our high heels and hair extensions in favour of hiking boots and back-packs and we're going to run (as much as possible!) the 84 miles! We're planning on doing it over 4 - 5 days (aiming for 16.1 - 21 miles a day!) staying in tents at the end of each days travel.


Georgia Simmons of the team is joining the army in September 2010, so the help for heroes charity is close to her heart, especially as she has friends in several war zones at the moment.


Rachel Hannigan is Georgia's best friend and kindly agreed to join the slightly insane escapade as she also feels strongly about the work that our brave service people do!


Help for Heroes: "It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."
