Hi everyone, we write this in a state of sheer and absolute mental and physical exhaustion. A massive 323 laps of the 310m circuit means we are the new world record holders !!!

The old record stood at 32.93km, the new (pending confirmation) record is.........wait for it..........100.13km.

It has been the most amazing 24 hours in a long, long time for us. The friendships, the generosity, the community spirit and the teamwork to make this event happen was beyond our wildest dreams and has been a humbling experience for all concerned.

We'll write more over the next few days but for now we'd like to thank our family, the amazingly talented and supportive staff at Eatons Hill State School led by tireless Principal Clyde Campbell, the wonderful team at Epilepsy Qld and all the helpers (including first aid suppliers and administerers) and supporters who made this event possible.

We are both in a state of physical disrepair. Massive blisters on our feet and lower limbs that can barely move characterise our physical situation. Mentally though, we are over the moon about what this event has been able to achieve in terms of our goals which were raising awareness about Epilepsy and funds for our great friends at Epilepsy Qld.

More to come......

Love to all,

Sue & Steve
