Thanks for visiting our Just Giving page.

Not long ago now we were sitting chatting about how we could do more to help the community around us. It’s all well and good talking about it but as we know, actions speak louder than words (or tweets!)

In January we decided we would go for it! We would do as much as we could to raise money for a good cause; we decided that we would do the Liverpool Rock and Roll Half Marathon, The National 3 Challenge and Tough Mudder, (we are also thinking of other things to do along the way which you can keep an eye out for). You may wonder if these will be a struggle for two young, fit men.. and the answer is yes, it will! You see, Kurtis only lifts weights, he doesn't do running (unless its running to the mirror, of course) and as for me, I enjoy drinking and eating junk food. To give up ale and food deserves donations in and of itself I recon..

The Rock and Roll half marathon is 13 miles of pain on June 14th, in Liverpool we are both terrible with our cardio so we are dreading this as an opening challenge. 

The National Three Peaks challenge is climbing the UK's 3 highest peaks all within 24 hours Snowdon, in Wales (1085m) Scafell Pike in England (978m) and Ben Nevis in Scotland. We will have others on board for this one, Kurts brother Ryan Kearney will be getting involved for this one aswell. 

Tough Mudder is on September 13th. Tough Mudder is a popular obstacle course, not only is it basically a half marathon through mud, it also will include electrocution, barbed wire, ice tanks and climbing. I've (Dale) done it before, and I am dreading doing it again. 

We want to do as much as we can to help, and we were extremely grateful to meet Denise Fergus and her husband Stuart recently, who told us about their charity which has been set up in memory of Denise’s son, James Bulger. The charity exists to help young people who have been affected by berevement, been a victim of crime, hatred or bullying. The charity rewards those who have shown exemplary conduct, made a positive contribition to the welfare of others, or society in general. This is something we are passionate about getting behind. (Please visit their website forjames.org)

This will be very hard work for us and it’s something that we want our followers, friends and family to give to. We will be keeping everyone updated on our progress, but while we do we ask you to please give generously to help us reach our goal and benefit a charity which will put the money to good use for good people.

Thanks for reading and please donate!
