My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. If you've landed here you're being pestered to part with hard earned cash for a good cause.

On Sunday 4th October Hugh and John are (trying) to run all 26.2 miles of the Loch Ness Marathon. Neither of them are in particularly good shape, their training schedules have been woeful and both of them think this is a bad idea.

This being the case rest assured that every penny donated will be earned in blood, sweat, tears and probably months of recriminations as to why they did it.

However, it's still a great opportunity to raise money for our chosen charity Capability Scotland. Capability works with disabled people of all ages and their families and carers to provide a range of modern, flexible services to ensure disabled people can enjoy life to the full.

Donating through this site is very simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: our chosen charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now for with whatever you can spare and we'll buy you a beer if we make it back in one piece.

Many thanks again for your support.
