My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On Easter Sunday 8th April 2012, we (Tom Vanhinsbergh and Ben Le Beau) will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for longest distance run three legged in 12 hours. We hope to run/walk over 41 miles, from Crawley to Brighton and then back to Crawley! 

The attempt will be made during the Pillars to Plough, Brighton to Crawley Sponsored Walk organised by Ifield Chestnut House.  

We decided to support The Olive Tree as Ben lost his Mum to cancer when he was 15 year's old. The Olive Tree supports not only the patients of cancer but also the families of cancer victims.

The money raised will go towards setting up a 'Move More' initiative (Macmillan) at The Olive Tree that encourages people living with cancer or after cancer to get involved in physical activity. Doctors used to advise people to rest as much as possible during treatment, but this has changed. They now know that too much rest results in loss of muscle strength and leaves you with low energy levels. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you,

Tom and Ben
