Our journey towards the London Marathon 2016 began several months ago in the form of a challenge laid down by Danny late one evening (those of you acquainted with Danny will recognise this scenario well).

Having committed to this undertaking, we jumped in feet first to an unconventional training regime involving a mix of intensive running, pizza, kick-boxing, beer and late night television. Nonetheless we remain confident that, notwithstanding our advancing years, we can still pull off a more than acceptable performance on the day...

On a serious note, we are running for Chickenshed a noble, small, North London-based charity in need of your help.

Chickenshed is an inclusive theatre company which runs highly successful outreach projects and education courses for children and young people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

The charity believes in absolute inclusion so that any child or young person, however disadvantaged or socially deprived, may benefit from acceptance, creative expression, inspiration and reinvention.

It is only with outside support and generosity that Chickenshed can continue to make a vast difference to the lives of tens of thousands of young people who benefit each year from its programmes and projects.
