BLUE CHAIR NEWS

There is a new Blue Chair Hero! Sponsor him today, just go to our Donate link- nothing can be easier!

Marvellous Madras Muncher Marathon Man Marcus Maguire has run the London Marathon on behalf of the Blue Chairs, as despite being blessed with four legs, they seem to find it difficult to move at a competitive pace! He can still be sponsored by going to our Donate page and just donating, but please mention Marcus so that he knows you have been inspired by his athleticism.

He is pictured below after a particularly strenuous carbohydrate loading session. His nutritionist and coach Izzy Gowing-Daly (who has worked with numerous top athletes in the world of darts and Sumo), is expecting Marcus to be a surprise package in the men's race. "We watched Paula Radcliffe adopt a similar diet before last year's race and she won easily despite a quick 'pitt' stop! A good curry can induce twofold benefits; firstly it affects the breathing of those competitors immediately to the rear of the athlete and secondly it can give a turbo thrust to the competitor and jet them to a supersonic time." So get behind Marcus (or perhaps not!)
