Four Southerners; three city dwellers and one village folk; attempt great athletic endeavour in the wilds of Greater Manchester.
They may be an enthusiastic smoker, a rowing drop-out, a wheezy try-hard and a haggard boozer, but according to head coach Daire Rooney the team have 'big goals, big dreams and passable thigh muscles'.
Biscuit consumption in the flat has fallen from 3 packs a day to 1, as the hardcore training regime kicks into gear. A doubter, who wished to be known only by the name S.Clifford, suggested that the fact that there are four weeks to go, and almost no long distance running has materialised amongst the team is a symptom of failure, but groupie and some-time friend Ailsa Jones states that she has no doubt the team will conquer the seemingly unconquerable odds before them.
In all seriousness, we are running for fantastic causes very close to our hearts, as in recent times we have all felt the impact that mental health can have on our lives, and any donations you can spare are most gratefully recieved, and will go towards improving lives.
Training, diet, and alcohol consumption may be against them, but the team thank you for your support in advance.
So get giving, much love,
Flat 22 xxx
