With the first ever Brighton Marathon now just over two weeks away, our Fantastic Five runners, who are raising funds to help families through the Trust this year, are all well into their training schedules.
We are very excited because, despite setbacks from some pretty difficult weather conditions, all of our heroes have been able to build their stamina, and are now pacing themselves, in preparation for the big day: Sunday 18th April 2010.
If you haven't encouraged these guys already, or donated money, please consider doing so. This is for a very worthy cause.
Matt's Canaan Trust is a small, family run charity, that offers breaks and help to families dealing with terminal and life-limiting illness.
You can follow the link How You Can Help to donate on this site to donate, or give directly to the individuals, if you know them personally.
Our special heroes are:
Mark Watson
Martin Whiddett
Dominic Timm (Dominic has a dedicated page for his fundraising at: http://www.everydayhero.co.uk/dominic_timm)
Gareth O'Connell
Michael Hartnett
Please support them and give generously - their efforts are an incredible blessing to the Trust, and the families we hope to help this year.
The runners all want to complete the Marathon in just over 4 hours, some aiming to beat their previous best times.
Why not come along on the day and cheer them on?
It promises to be a fantastic event, with the course showcasing a great view of Brighton.
They will be wearing one of our t-shirts round the course, and would be so grateful for a rousing cheer.
You can find details for the event on the official website:
