DHL Marathon Man Flexes Muscle

DHL MARATHON MAN FLEXES MUSCLES FOR MHF

Muscles are the "engine" that our bodies use to turn energy into motion. They allow us to simply move. On 17th April 2005, Jacob Verhagen will be joining the largest marathon field ever assembled including the likes of Haile Gebreselassie [the world's greatest distance runner]. He will flex his muscles to save muscles in this year's Flora London Marathon. The 656 muscles that we each have, enable our lungs to breathe, our hearts to beat, we're able to smile, walk and RUN!
