Hello - well, amid a pretty crappy week all told I've actually got a chance to something daft and positive about it. Tomorrow I'll be running 3kms along Brighton and Hove seafront dressed as a banana [some other poor sod in the banana oufit here], chased by a group of women, and perhaps a chap as well wearing bright yellow t-shirts, all in aid of cancer research.
You the great Barbelith public were rather marvellous when you sponsored me last year, helping raise about £100, and I wasn't even dressed as a banana then (although the canary yellow short shorts I donned for the occasion will I'm sure have stuck in the mind of all lucky enough to witness them), so let's do even better this year innit.
In terms of performance stats, I'm carrying a few extra daddy pounds around the midriff than last time, but have quit smoking entirely, so am hoping to beat my time of thirteen minutes. This run is the only exercise I do all year.
So come on, sponsor me please, just a couple of quid, by responding to this thread. I'll PM you me address for to mail the coins at later when the race is done. Photographic evidence of the ritual murder of my dignity to follow shortly.
Cancer's rubbish, let's have at it. Ta. |
