History is full of great partnerships. We wanted a piece of the action so have decided to run the London Marathon together.

 

The scale of the challenge is huge. Even for Will who has a natural athleticism, 26 miles is a mammoth amount. For Matt this represents the only exercise he's done for a decade. Training has begun already and progress is being made. Will was up to 10k in no time on those treadmills. Matt's lost around a stone and a half since August.

 

We need your help though. We're running this marathon for Whizz Kids, a great charity who help young people with mobility problems by providing equipment and training. Anything you can donate will help make the difficult lives of some adorable children a bit easier. Have a look at their website by clicking on the link on this page.

 

We will keep you updated with photos and stories. Maybe some videos. If you can handle that sort of thing.

 

You can follow our progress every Sunday on the Jon Richardson Show on BBC 6 Music (www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/jon_richardson) and follow Matt's Twitter here: www.twitter.com/mattforde

 

Thanks for visiting our page and a special thanks to you if you donate and sponsor us, you're a ledge.

 

Safe,

 

Matt and Will
