East End Offset (TU). Registered as a GPO. Signed articles do not necessarily reflect the viens of the SOA. people in Socialist Organiser intend to put their lives on the line.
They plan to run 26 miles! Yes, 26 miles.
Some people may laugh at the fact that three of Wallasey's idle poor intend to run a marathon. But they can, and will, on Sunday September 26, in Liverpool.
These wonderful specimens of ill-health are not running for the good of their health, or any masochistic tendencies they might have, but for monev.
So if these three stupid idiots intend to kill themselves, the least you can do is sponsor their efforts.
• So far they have about £250 in sponsorships. You have just over a week to make their ordeal worth it. Make sure you sponsor them now, to give them a reason for finishing this marathon alive.
