WEBISODE 6 - THE FINISH LINE!

WE DID IT!!!! After months of early mornings, long runs and chronic fatigue we completed the 2011 Melbourne Marathon! As race day approached and last minuted nerves set in, advice from Josh and Carmen's heroes and some unexpected media coverage added to the excitement of the event.

Hey Everyone! We have to say a HUGE Thank You to all of you who've donated so far! We just want to clarify the charities receiving your donations so you know they are going to two great causes!

Josh is running for the Unicorn Foundation

Carmen is running for The Cure For Life Foundation

We know it's a little confusing because our Everyday Hero fundraising site only has one charity on it, but we assure you, your donations are being split 50/50 between both charities.

With only 1 DAY TO GO till THE MARATHON we urge you to get family and friends on board! Remember, you can still donate for the entire week after the big day, so if you can't donate by Sunday you'll still have time! Check out our most recent video below - with advice from Steve Moneghetti and Tamsyn Lewis! We'll be thinking of all of you and your support on the BIG DAY and if you are in Melbourne feel free to come and cheer us on!

Love Carmen and Josh

WEBSIODE 5 - Rising Stars

With just 7 days to go, the marathon is FINALLY in Carmen and Josh's sights! However, with hordes of YouTube fans and general fatigue threatening their success, some famous friends are luckily on hand to lend some wise advice and get them over the line.

It's the last week you can donate to cancer research through our WE CAN RUN marathon fundraising campaign so if you've enjoyed the videos of our amazing journey please join our final push to raise as much as possible and Donate generously to CANCER RESEARCH by CLICKING HERE!

WEBISODE 4 - Upset Stomach

After struggling through their second 20k run, a nasty bout of food poisoning almost brings Josh to his knees. Even with Carmen doing her best to support him, it looks like training could come to an abrupt end. However that fighting 'WE CAN RUN' spirit keeps spurring them on and it becomes clear that training for a marathon was never going to be easy.

WEBISODE 2 - The First Steps

With just 9 weeks to go it is time to buckle down, start running some serious distances, stop complaining and make this marathon a reality! But will Carmen's job at a patisserie and Josh's hatred of stretching be their downfall before they've even properly begun? Check out our 2nd WE CAN RUN Webisode to find out all this and more!

WE CAN RUN - The Beginning of a Dream!

Our spur-of-the-moment decision to run the 2011 Melbourne Marathon was made over a few too many beers at a mutual friend's party just 10 days ago! Our friends convinced us we'd be up for the challenge and coerced us in to believing they were right! It wasn't until several days later at our first fitness consultation that we actually realised how much work we had to do. First it's the running and making time for the running and thinking about the running and eating right and sleeping properly and getting good shoes and stretching and not having big Saturday nights and waking up early in the dark and cold, etc, etc, etc. The list was endless and we discovered this is no mean feat! However, after our first full 10 days of training and preparing for the weeks ahead we both feel excited and nervous about the race and extremely happy to be raising money for cancer research along the way!
