So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.


Three months ago Gail and I decided that we wanted to raise money for a worthy cause ( we have chosen   The Brain Research Trust – funding world-class research into neurological conditions ) by undertaking a ' new' sporting challenge . This lead us to learn to X-Country Ski .To do this we engaged the services of Iain Ballentine the founder of Roller Ski UK who has given us the confidence , and sufficient technical skill to make us believe that we can complete the Engadin Ski Marathon Engadin Skimarathon which takes place on the 14 March 2010 .

As well as roller ski training at our local bicycle track ( when the bikers would  let us .....! ) we have also used an indoor ski machine , and done plenty of power walking . On the 13 February we put our ' off snow' training  to the test , and went to Norway to experience the 'real thing' . We had 4 days of one-on-one tuition , and we are looking forward to the big day .

For the technically minded , Gail will ski Classic style , and Fraser Skating style . ( think Biathlon - without the gun ...! )

Please give your support to a worthy cause .

Thank you 


Gail and Fraser
