Dear All
Just 4 days and counting down until The Asics British 10k London Run, at 09:35am on Sunday 12th July 2009.
I am running to raise money for one of my favourite charities again, Marie Curie Cancer Care, if I can find my T-Shirt! When it comes to storing things I have a box and a label for every object and occasion. I have squirreled it away somewhere, but where I am not quite sure yet. Well the last event was a year ago! At this rate it may take me another year to find my T-shirt.
This is the fourth year Kathryn and I have competed in this event, which gets bigger and bigger. It is televised so if you fancy cheering us on from your sofa or bed, then get your Sunday morning coffee and croissants at the ready and press that remote at 09:35am and start scanning the 1000’s of little figures all bobbing along the mall. Kathryn and I will be there at 8.30am warming up, so I shall be having a very early night on Saturday.
There is an after party as always, this year being held at Walkers of Whitehall, which is located near to the finish just off Whitehall, and close to Trafalgar Square. Last year we bumped into a very lost Nicky Graham who we escorted to the after party with us. She was a real sweetie!
The Marie Curie Cancer Care is a super cause and they are a very well organised charity who really do all they can to make if ‘fun for fundraisers’. The bright yellow daffodil T-shirts are designed so you can write your name on the front and back and then all the daffodil supporters along the route are able to shout out your name and really encourage and spur you to the end… and I will need all the cheers I can get this year to finish the course in a respectable time.
Well all that is left to say is “Good Luck to Kathryn and I” and “Thank you to those of you lovely people who are kind enough to throw a few pennies at our Just Giving Page.”

Until the finish…

p.s. Abenefit2u managed to collect 342 Tesco for Schools and Club Vouchers this year.
Which makes me think I am either eating or drinking far too much!
