Beauseant 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Apologies for this, but I hope you will agree its a good cause, and I ''ve cleared it with the mods.On May 3rd I will be running the Great East Anglia Run (a 10K) for Cancer Research. If any of you feel prepared to sponsor me I have set up a website for the purpose at www.justgiving.com/robmike . If nothing else it allows you to view an unfortunate photo of me with more chins than the Peking phone book! Funny how lighting plays weird tricks with even the most athletic profile!Thanks in advance for anyone who is prepared to donate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Cheers guys. I''m working on getting as much as possible, so any donations are gratefully received. Did it last year and managed to raise £1600 for Alzheimer''s, which my Dad had and now, unfortunately, so does my mother. Hope the run is better this year though. Last year I got a stomach bug the night before and felt like death! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
