Our personal message:

Oorrrreeeorrreoooorrrreoorreeeorrrrr,!

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page and helping to support Leukaemia Research Fund through donating to TARZAN'S BANANATHON.

What we thought would be a 26.2 mile run through the streets of Manchester ended up being over 30 miles thanks to the distance travelled around the 26 venues where we undertook 24 ten-minute tasks.  Have a look at our interactive map, which shows the full course with clickable icons to take you to all the venues so you know what we did, where and when.

Go to our blog to keep bang up to date with all the post Bananathon news and keep checking back here to see how the total increases as the week goes on.
