Gumshields: Ryan, Terry and Joe's page.
Hi, thanks for visiting our page.
I can't believe we are doing this now, 'cos the only time I've run before is if someone was chasing me. But with the help of Steve Barret and 'Gumshield gym' in Eltham, south London, Joe, Ryan Barret and Terry Parker are doing The Virgin London Marathon for Diabetes UK.
We can't do it alone though. Anything you want to donate will be fantastic. Thanks for supporting us in this. Lots of love, Joe, Ryan and Tel. x.
