My story

Thanks for visiting our sponsorship page for the NYC Marathon 2008!

What seemed like a good idea in the pub pre Christmas now seems, in reality, like the worst idea EVER generated by 12 pints of Glasgow's finest!

Despite having the combined lung capacity of an asthmatic ant, we have decided to run the "world's hardest marathon" (copyright us!) for Marie Curie Cancer Care's Big Build Appeal in Glasgow. For more information please visit: www.bigbuild.org.uk

We have chosen this charity because we, like everyone else, have been affected by Cancer at some point in our lives. Also, we are Glasgow born and bred and to quote the Appeal's Chairman, we too believe that "Glasgow deserves the best".

As a result, we hope to raise £10,000 to contribute to the £16m target of the Appeal.

Thank you so much in advance for sponsoring us.

NYC... we're on our way (slowly and slightly out of breath... but we're on our way!!)

Cheers

Derek, Stuart, Gavin and Niki
