Last year myself and Ben decided it was time we did something worthwhile with our spare time and raise some money for charity.

A sponsored silence was a common suggestion but we decided that 5 marathons in a year was a far better way to impress the ladies.

With three marathons under our belts we have caught the running bug and have already signed up for another four this year.

We have run Madrid, Berlin and New York but the highlight will be London Next April. We have been fund raising for cancer research but for this particular marathon we are also raising money for the Electrical and electronic Industries Benevolent Association.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us. The EEIBA gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please please sponsor us!
