The beginning...

When a mate asks you, do you want to run to Paris?, it's worth looking in to what in entails.

I thought there may be SOME running involved, but turns out, there's a LOT of running involved.
4 x half marathons in 4 days, consecutively, all 5 of us.
There's also a van, a ferry, a tent and I'm guessing, not a lot of sleep.

Now, I don't mind a bimble out and about every now and again. But I've only done 2 half marathons in my whole life, so this is gonna be a challenge. Especially as I have old man knees, and hair.

Although this will be a beast of a challenge, I can't wait to get going.

We're not just doing this to boost our egos, the Run2Paris event raises vital funds for charity.

The 2 chosen charities are Parkinson's UK, and SSAFA - The Armed Forces Charity.
The impact your fundraising will make will change lives, from investing in cutting edge medical research into finding a cure for Parkinson’s Disease to offering a last minute grant to keep a veteran in their home.

Any little bit counts, so donate what you can whilst we contemplate the consequences of what we've signed up to.
