    A Marathon For Muscles

    I want to say a massive thank you to everybody that took part in the marathon, not a mile but, the full 26 miles, my Brother arranged for the MD campaign yesterday. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind to us at all but, it didn’t dampen anybodies spirits.

    There were a loads of people taking part in the marathon relay where by they all run or walked a mile each handing over an orange baton at the end. There was two fellas that did a bike ride of the full 26 miles in 90 minutes, one bloke called Mark who did the full 26 miles running around Aylesbury & one of Martin’s mates, who followed Martin doing his mile (the last one) who had Beckers. And the poor bloke fell over in the rain.

    At the moment the money raised stands at over £4,000 :wave: .
