A little bit of background.

Joel is a mate who I have known since 1992 when we started high school. We have never been running types. We were more than content to eat McDonalds and play Playstation.

As you can imagine we are looking forward to the 26.2 miles like an illness, but it is for a great cause. Joel and Ali and their daughters are flying over from Sydney, so it is a huge effort.

As some of you know, Joel and I are running in memory of Gab Baker, Ali's sister, who took her life last year. It has been an extremely difficult time for the family and our fundraising will further Mind's efforts in preventing it happening to others.

We are both very grateful for anything you can spare. It really does motivate us to get out and train for this, which is a first (and last) for both of us.

Thanks again

Garbs
