Somewhere along the way running the Paris Marathon as a fundraiser got disguised and seen as a good idea ... the general finger of blame is pointing at Spence, but Martin has a few questions to answer too !

Anyway, we are in ... and a more dedicated, elite group of runners you will struggle to find !

But ... we all have one thing in common - a desire to raise some cash for a fantastic charity - check out some of the latest news items on the website www.tagrugbytrust.co.uk

We have a specific project in Uganda that any money raised will be put towards - bringing a rugby club back to life after 40 years of inactivity ... our plans are to incorporate the club firmly into the community by making it available to a broad cross section of locals for educational and social activities.

So dig deep & think of the pain we shall all be enduring in Paris !

Spence, Max, Daphne, Gareth & Martin

PS - its not a race !!!
