Story

Achal & Vishal’s Big Mistake...

It was a flawed decision, one of those things that you get excited about at the time and then almost immediately regret, like a step haircut. And all you are left with afterwards is that gut wrenching feeling that things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

What am I talking about?  Me and Vishal have decided to run the London Marathon in 2010.

Ok, so I’m just going to say what most of you are probably thinking...I know that Vishal and I aren’t the most disciplined, or driven guys you'll ever meet. I know there's little chance of us waking up on a cold Sunday morning to go running, especially since we've probably just come back from the night before. And I definitely know we're not what you would call 'marathon' material...But that is exactly why we need all the money that you can spare, because the more money you donate to our cause the more guilty we would feel for not doing our best.

So please donate everything you can and help us raise as much money as possible for Sense which is a great charity that helps Blind and Deaf people in the UK.
