Lee Morrisey and Chris Raine have teamed up to face the challenge of all challenges - to run the Flora London Marathon.

The Giant Giraffe and Whippet Wonder are to endure 26.2 miles of madness in the name of charity (Missing People). Never having entered anything on this scale before, the pair have resolved to laugh at the challenge and remain shakily confident of victory.

The duo have combined their strengths of height, age, madness and insanity to combat all that stand before them (tv, beer and pies). Months of training has so far shown signifcant signs of progress - guts are tighter, diets are healthier and alcohol intake has ceased!

Still to decide on a team name, the duo will adopt the best name from those who sponsor. Suggestions in comments below please!

The big day is Sunday April 26th 2009. Your help is greatly appreciated to edge us closer to our target and motivate us further to reach the final line.
