Massive thanks to Mark Pursey for organizing a charity football match with his friends! £160 raised!!!! Well done for playing in the heat and to the Avengers for beating the G.I. Joe's!

We decided to do something to raise money for the Motor Neuron Disease Association because a good friend of ours is currently fighting the disease. He is a wonderful, generous, intelligent man who is slowly losing the ability to control his own body.

We are so passionate about raising funds to keep the research going on trying to find a cure to beat this disease, that we decided to take on a tough physical challenge, hoping that our wonderful friends and family would sponsor us in our efforts. We will be training hard and in November will cycle 350km in 5 days from Playa Jibacoa to Trinidad in Cuba.

Please, please, please give us some money!!! Whatever you can donate will be wonderful and very gratefully received. We will be setting up a blog on our return from the challenge, so that you can all read about and watch footage of our journey.

We have a facebook and twitter page where we would love for you to comment, and follow us, and we will keep you all posted as to how our fundraising and training are going.
