Hi Folks,
Yep, it's soon come round again :-(
In just over a week, on Sunday 20th September, Louise and I will be taking part in our 9th consecutive Great North Run. It will be our 7th time we will be raising money for Christies Hospital appeal in Manchester in their ongoing fight against cancer.
So we're putting our bodies through the pain again so you guys don't have to, so in exchange we are seeking lots of sponsorship…..
We've done the usual and set up a webpage on the JustGiving website so it makes it very easy (and secure) for you to make your donation (big or small) in support of us both. See below for a link to the page. We've included the "after" picture from last year for your amusement and will update it once we complete this years (and get our medals of course). There are also links to details on Christies, the course map and my favourite, the time lapsed video of the course…..how I wish it was all over in 2 minutes rather than the 2 hours!
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully sponsor us. Just a couple of sobering thoughts to leave you with……. Every two minutes someone else is diagnosed with cancer in the UK. More than 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime.
Come on guys give sean and louise some support, looking on their webpage they have not recieved a lot yet whats £20.00 less than half an hours labour time, this is what UKAT is all about helping each other out. Good luck & all the best Roger.
