On Wednesday 12th September 2007, our parents, Chris and Elisabeth Mack began a 4-day, 450-kilometre cycle from London to Paris. The challenge was taken in memory of our brother, Gregory Highwood-Mack, and all the money raised has gone to supporting CRY.

London Marathon 2007 – Tom Hicks

London Marathon 2007 – Mary-Lou Gravestock

Team "Gin'll Fix It" – Calais to Casablanca car rally

We immediately discovered a few obvious parallels in our
London Marathon 2007 – Simon Edgar
