At the moment it doesn't seem like one of our better ideas  but we have both entered the London Marathon on Sunday 13th April 2008.  Training for a marathon is very tough (much tougher than a half marathon) and Dave has had a couple of injury setbacks so he didn't want to put this page up too soon!

Anyhow, now is the time to think positive  Dave is up to 17.5 miles in training and Jon is up to 18/19 so we are going to do it!

The sibling rivalry that has been a feature of our lives -  will keep us going.

We have picked St Oswald's Hospice (see left) as our chosen charity and  would be very grateful if you could sponsor us for whatever you can afford.  The official bit follows:

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Oswald's Hospice 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.

Your donations and best wishes will keep us plodding along when the going gets tough (15 - 26.2 miles)

Many thanks for your support.  Jon & Dave McGuinness
