Well they did it.  After months of contemplation and thousands of pounds spent on personal trainers, massages, gym fees, surgical stockings, Preparation H and Jade videos, they finished in style.

 

Right up to the last minute these finely tuned athletes were concentrating on the task in hand.  After a Saturday night pasta party to load their muscles with carbohydrate, they proceeded to consume copious amounts of high energy sports drink (cleverly disguised as red & white wine).  Into the early hours of Sunday morning saw them complete this strict training regime with a series of precise stretching and warm up exercises masquerading as bopping!

 

On Sunday the culmination of their speciality  ‘Talk, Walk, Sing, Drink & Bop’ training technique brought a world record time for a group of Mariner Ladies.

 

Well done girls and here's to next year and another world record time ....... or maybe not.

 

The Mariners are a group of friends from across the UK that meet a couple of times a year and this cause is close to their hearts.  Why not recognise this unique opportunity to support the ladies amongst us and raise valuable funds for Cancer Research.

 

It is not too late to sponsor their efforts.  Please dig deep and sponsor here online.

 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor them: Cancer Research 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.

 

If you are a higher rate tax payer, note the gift on your tax return and you will get another 23% in tax relief; so donating £78 will cost you only £60 and be worth £100 to Cancer Research.
