Story

<p>Perhaps Benny's MAD idea&nbsp;wasn't so mad after all...</p> <p>We completed the Marathon-Athens marathon&nbsp;on Sunday 13th of November in an unofficial time of 5 hours, 32 minutes. It blew a gale, rained and there were a few hills to climb and walls to break through, but we did it and Benny wheeled himself across the line in the original Olympic stadium to a great Greek reception!</p> <p>Here's Benny's own website for pictures:</p> <p><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/Team-Benny">http://www.justgiving.com/Team-Benny</a></p> <p>Thanks a million to everyone who has contributed so generously and been so encouraging about us doing it. It made a huge difference getting round knowing you were rooting for us..</p> <p>Alex</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>PS. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
