Scott and Rhys Jenkins, of Cardiff, are to run the equivalent of a marathon each day for a staggering 70 days as they attempt the mission.<\/p>\n
The pair – who have been in training for the past year – are hoping to smash the current world record of 52 consecutive marathons in as many days.<\/p>\n
Scott explained to BBC News: "We've been training for the last 12 months. During the week we've been running half-marathons and then 30 miles on the weekend."<\/p>\n
He added it is a difficult amount to raise but the duo will be running with buckets and are hopeful people will support the endeavour.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a golf competition was recently set up in Beck Row to raise funds for hero soldiers wounded while serving their country.<\/p>\n
