Once again the Bizarre Creations gang will be putting themselves through some tough paces (and fun ones too) in order to raise money for this years chosen charity - The NSPCC.

Last year, Bizarre Creations managed to raise over £6000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care thanks to our lovely families, friends and the support of the outside world - you!

We have three Marathons this year - The Liverpool Half Marathon (13.1m), the Lochaber Marathon in Fort William (26.2m) and the London Marathon (26.2m).

There will also be a bike ride in July from Liverpool - Chester - Liverpool!

The thrill seekers are back and will be taking part in a 150ft bungee plunge - not for the faint hearted!

Some of our tough guys will be braving the Para's 10 mile Challenge.

Aint no mountain high enough? Well... The Three Peak Challenge awaits some of our Bizarre Creations team. An attempt to climb the three highest peaks in the UK - in 24hrs!! WE CAN DO IT!!

We would really appreciate any help from you wonderful people by sponsoring us! Pennies or pounds - it all counts. All the money we raise will help towards putting a STOP to child cruelty. The NSPCC relies on the general public for 87% of its donations; it faces great challenges in the current economic climate. This is why your pennies and pounds count!

We will keep you updated on all the events as and when they happen - wish us luck and thank you for all your support!
