We should probably explain this a bit. Six enthusiastic (read: amateur) runners will embark upon a quest to run a non-stop relay all the way from the big smoke of London to the marginally smaller smoke of Edinburgh.

For those thinking that’s an awfully long way, you’re right. It’s actually 684 Km away (or 425 miles in old money). Which means 114 Km per runner, or 23 park runs each if you prefer. Sleep will also be something of a luxury. In short, it’s going to be one heck of a slog, and we’re going to suffer in new and exciting ways.

To justify said suffering, we’re asking for donations to a seriously worthwhile cause.

Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions.

With your donation, CRY can reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) by working with cardiologists and family doctors to establish good practice and appropriate screening facilities to promote and protect the cardiac health of our young.

If you’re struggling to think of a donation amount, here are some fun suggestions

- £5 - Sort of like you've done your own 5K

- £11.40 - 10p for every Km one of us runs

- £23 - A quid for every 5K one of us will have to do

By supporting CRY you will help save young lives from these potentially fatal cardiac conditions.

The runners (Jas, Luke, Sean, Liam, Ben, Lucas)
