Cousins Peter Clemente and Aggie Simeone have committed themselves to a 51 week challenge as they each aim to lose 42 kilograms to complete the 42 kilometre course of the New York Marathon.
The pair, who together weigh a combined 270kg, began their training regime in November after a consultation with the Australian Institute of Fitness who have offered trainers and masseurs to condition the duo over the next ten months in preperation for their Big Day in the Big Apple.
On top of the physical task that lies ahead, Peter and Aggie are also choosing to aim to raise a whopping $100,000 for Little Heroes Foundation in the months leading up to the marathon.
