Dear lovely people,
Many thanks for getting this far and checking out our blog. We will be posting here from now on, charting our progress from our current training, right through to the golden moment when we make it through the 1400 miles to Morocco. We hope that by keeping you all informed of how we are doing, we can not only reveal the pains, joys and tribulations of our trip, but also hope that some of you may be inspired to take on such a trip for yourself.
I can not say when exactly the idea for this trip came about, but in the past few months, plans have gone from broad generalisations and dreams to detailed preparations and training. What I can say for certain, though, is that this trip will be our best achievement to date. Travelling over 1400 miles in 5 weeks, with nothing but our finely honed sportsman physiques and steel nerves to keep us going, this trip will be epic on many levels. Your support will be a huge and essential boost to our trip, as without support and encouragement we will not get very far at all.
We are aiming to raise £2000 for Cancer Research UK. While we realise that this is a huge target to reach, we also know that the difference this money will make will be incredible. We all know someone that has suffered as a result from cancer, whether it be a personal experience, or from the repercussions of cancer on those close to us. We are therefore certain that through our choice of charity we will be making a significant difference, and the charitable repercussions of our trip will no doubt keep us going when the miles become tough. If you would like any more information on Cancer Research UK, and where the money you donate goes, please follow this link - Cancer Research UK.
We will keep you updated with how we are getting on. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and please do follow our progress, donate on our Just Giving page, and let your family and friends know about our trip. The more coverage and donations we can raise for this trip the better, and it is all for a very decent cause.
Much love always,
Barney and Sean xx
