A year or so ago Tom and I were sat in a pub and came to the realisation that we needed a hobby beyond drinking.

With very little talent between us, and no need to actually socialise with each other we decided we should get in to running.

First it was 5k park runs, then we tried a 10k, a 15k, gave the half marathon ago, before taking on the Athens Marathon (Don't recommend, hot and hilly)

Now through lack of anything else going on in our lives, we are doing our first ultra marathon (50k) and felt it was time we turned this into some good!

The run itself is along the Thames Pathway, starting lovely Putney and finishing in even lovelier Staines, want to come support, I wouldn't bother!

We are raising money for 2 charities, Children with cancer UK and WWF

Firstly in about 95% of cases Tom W prefers animals to people, he loves the work the WWF do and has supported them as a charity for years.

For me, its Children with Cancer UK. Why?

Because cancer is sh*t and no one deserves it, especially children. I couldn't think of a better cause to get behind.

Our target is £1000 between us, and have agreed that both GroTech Search and Dojo Films will match 50% of the donations if we hit the 1k mark

Thanks for reading folks, see you when we are ultra!
