Although it is fair to say we have not been known principally for our sporting prowess, we've decided to run a half marathon in October.

So that something good might come of this madness, we also decided to fundraise for a good cause and we couldn't think of a more worthy cause than UNICEF.

As part of The 2008 Team UNICEF, we are fundraising for The Born Free Campaign, which aims to ensure that all pregnant women with HIV receive the right medicine and care to prevent them passing HIV onto their baby.

Given that it costs just 68p to provide the drugs that prevent a mother passing HIV to her baby, we are hoping that all the blood, sweat and tears (Nick sometimes get emotional in training) will make a bit of a difference in the world.

For more details about the campaign please see http://www.unicef.org.uk/campaigns/born_free/.

Thank you for your support from Dominic and Nick
