Sleepy and Grumpy (Allegra and Pete to their friends) wanted to raise some money for charity. Grumpy thought it would be a good idea to do some kind of activity challenge. Sleepy wasn't at all sure about this (the clue's in the name, really) but Grumpy was convinced they could do it. Sleepy and Grumpy couldn't decide whether to do a run, a bike ride or a swim. So they decided to do all three. This escalated out of all proportion, and we now present to you the 10-100-1000 challenge!
In 2013 we will be doing a 10k run, cycling a bit over 100 miles, and swimming 1000m. For two people who have trouble running for a bus, this is going to be an issue. But it is for two wonderful charities: the NSPCC, who do amazing work protecting children from cruelty and neglect, and the Multiple Sclerosis Trust, who provide support and information to those living with MS and their families as well as working with health professionals.
As we go along, we will keep you updated with how well/badly we're getting on with our training and our challenges. Any ideas you have for things we can do are also welcome so feel free to get involved. And please wish us luck!
If you want to support us and these amazing charities, you can sponsor Sleepy who is supporting the NSPCC or Grumpy who is supporting the MS Trust (supporting both is allowed if you're super generous!).
