Some may call us foolhardy. Some may deride us & believe we'll fail. However, because an increasingly large number of people are calling us names like 'fatty', 'gutbucket' or 'salad dodger', we've collectively decided to lose 6 stone between us in the first quarter of 2008.

We're all in this together, but as a further added motivation we've decided to raise money on behalf of Whizz-Kidz, which is an incredibly good cause & helps many disabled children lead happier lives.

To help us in our aim we've enlisted the help of our friend & colleague Steve Beer, who will act as motivational coach & scalesman. For those of you who don't know Steve he is a semi-pro marathon runner & had a trial for Spurs, which is partly why we chose him, but he's also the skinniest bloke we know & the only person who admits to have any bathroom scales! Steve will ensure fair play & provide donors with updates on our progress.

So please donate what you can & encourage us to our goal.

Ruthers, Rooty & Stu
