How are we going to do this?
Joe Pournovin and me are attempting 3 separate endurance challenges as a team.
May 12th 2018 Yamathon - Walk around the Tokyo Yamanote line (42km) in less than 14 hours - Complete (11 hours)

Please help motivate us by donating to this worthy cause.
Thank you,
Mark and Joe.

Secondly another big thank you to Daniel and Abeesh our support team without who this would never have been possible. I did finish
