Dear All

I trust you guys will cut me a little slack in posting on here again asking for your support.....was it really only 12 months ago that we did it last?

As most of you will know, it's starting to become a bit of habit as my partner Louise and I will be soon taking part in our 10th Great North Run up on Tyneside on the 19th September.

To cut a long story short, everything is a bit hectic at the moment, so we've not done as much training as normal and as always left it late to try and generate some sponsorship.

We had thought about changing charities for this year as even though we get excellent support from everyone around the country we are aware that our chosen charity (The Christie Cancer Hospital in Manchester) isn't as national as some of the others. However, they do an amazing job at The Christie and do appreciate all the money that is raised for them.

As usual we have set up an on-line page on the justgiving.com website which can be found at the link below. There is more information on the page about the run and the charity.

We appreciate that given the current economic climate that we won't be able to match the amazing response we had from all of you last year, but any donation you make, whatever the size will be greatly appreciated by us and The Christie.

Thank you for your time and support.

Regards

Sean & Louise
