Like a bit of a singsong All Night Long? Just Can't Get Enough of karaoke?
Always wanted to raise Money, Money, Money for charity but shudder at the thought of running 26 miles?
If so, next year’s Charioke Marathon needs you!
If you reckon you can out-Mariah 2009's top fundraisers Martin (£2,800 raised for Food Chain), Vanessa and Joy (£2,400 raised for Refugee Action) or match the vocal stylings of the Sing Up team, then it’s time to start limbering up for 2010.
In 2010, we’ll be looking for more singers brave enough to break the karaoke pain barrier.
So if you'd like to sing your heart out for charity, email esmep@refugee-action.org.uk to get the low-down.
In return, we promise you more philanthropic fun than you can shake a mic at, with competitions and tasty snacks galore - all in the lap of Lucky Voice luxury.

This 10–hour non–stop karaoke fundraiser took place at Lucky Voice on 2nd November 2009 in Islington, London, and 9th November in Brighton.
Teams raised £23,000 for the charity world's unsung heroes by being sponsored to survive this aurally-exhausting sing-a-thon.
Just like a charity marathon, but without the overly revealing synthetic sportswear and the chafing, 2009 saw 115 charioke champs sweating, panting and limping to the finale line in support of 13 different charities.
in association with other worthy folk including The Serenity Foundation, Asthma UK, Food Chain, Just for Kids Law and many, many more.
