This formidable pair walked from Greenwich in south London to Finsbury park via central London, a total in excess of 40 miles - and their stamina paid off as they raised a magnificent total of £4,031 for this worthwhile cause.

Shelagh, an Arndale Centre reiki practitioner celebrated her 44th birthday during the walk and vowed to return next year.

Each of the girls had to raise a minimum of £1,500 before being eligible to take part.

As usual the Club played its part and the girls raised over £1,500 as Club members dug deep to support our tireless twosome.

Shelagh said: "We had a charity night at the Clb where we did the waitressing - and received lots of generous tips.

We also held an auction and all the prizes were donated. Club members have been fantastic."

She also feels very strongly about raising more money for such a wonderful cause: "It is so important because cancer has an impact on all of us, even it it doesn't hit us personally. We all know someone who has been affected."

Shelagh and Julie would like to thank all members who helped support them as well as Mac's Plasterers, Town & Country Indoor Market, Dave McNeilly and to their familes who were behind them all the way in their efforts.

The girls finally take the weight off their feet and relax in the charity pink shirts. We bet Mick Justin would like one of these shirts!

In all the dynamic duo raised a magnificent £4,081 and the "Perfect Pair" - their team name - lived up to their name.
