London to Paris by Unicycle

Story
Thanks for dropping by.
Between 20th and 23rd October 2007, a couple of friends and I are going to attempt to unicycle from London to Paris. OK, we'll probably make use of a ferry at some stage. Anyways, that's about 220 miles of unicycling in 4 days.
Why the British Lung Foundation? In July this year, my mother-in-law passed away as a result of COPD (Emphysema). This is for her and in her memory.
Why use a unicycle? Er, I don't know. Never really thought about it. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Won't it hurt? Oh, yes. Be assured of that.
Is it dangerous? Er, probably. Just don't tell my wife.
Anyways, give us some money. It'll help keep the wheel turning.
Cheers,
Mark.
[ Update: Well, we did it! 84 miles the first day, 52 the second, then 56 and a final run of 28 miles on the fourth day. We arrived at the Eiffel Tower just before midday - so 220 miles in 3.5 days. Quite an adventure. ]
