Firstly thank you for your fantastic support, for the two charities the final total should be close to £1400 a tremendous amount considering the credit crunch. I cant thank you enough; this money will help lots of children.
My next charity event involves dancing and woman’s cloths, the rest is a secret, don’t worry no fundraising its purely a ticket event three nights at the Woodville Halls Gravesend in July, ill post the photos then.
And the Big day.
Well I made it, just 5:11:00 not a brilliant time but my position for my age group 2485 makes it sound a bit better. What a day though the support was out of this world even around the dreaded Docklands where I had been warned that the support would be sparse, far from it, people were there in their thousands. A great atmosphere I am so glad I took part. The hardest part was between 30 – 35 km when my body wanted to give up, it was like having a good angel and a bad devil on my shoulders one saying **** this you cant go on, the other saying don’t be a woos get on with it, it was certainly a mind battle. At least I beat Peter Andre and Katie Price. The pair eventually completed the course in just over seven hours.
I think with a bit more training I could finish under four hours
You know I said never again.

Friends of Craylands School
The Friends of Craylands School the Friends support a local primary school where I live and raise money that is used to purchase play equipment and provide financial support for the not so well off children who would otherwise miss out on school trips etc. The friends play a vital part in the school community.
CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA.
CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA.
In February 1987, Paul O’Gorman died of leukaemia at the age of fourteen. Just nine months later, another devastating blow struck the O’Gorman family when Paul’s sister, Jean, was also lost to cancer.
Always a caring boy, Paul had made his parents promise to help other children with leukaemia and, within weeks of his death, they started fundraising. In November 1987, just days after Jean’s death, they met Diana, Princess of Wales. Deeply moved by the double tragedy, she personally helped establish and inaugurate this charity in January 1988.
What started as a small memorial charity is now the UK’s leading national charity dedicated to the conquest of childhood leukaemia through pioneering research, new treatment and support of leukaemic children and their families. Paul’s indomitable spirit continues to inspire the work of CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA.
