Photograph Competition:
Photo no. 6
Tiny Tim’s Children’s Centre and Newlife. (£1 per guess at my finishing time in the London Marathon if you wish to win my medal, my t-shirt, etc. but just donate if you just wish to give
Dearest Blog,
You call via the inter stellar satellite network linkup on Friday was a pleasant surprise. It was also very sweet of you to send me that ‘Get Well’ card. Most considerate. Just one tinsie winsie point. I have had an upset stomach and a chill, so was the ‘With Sympathy’ and the black border on the card not going a little over the top? I met some very nice people on Thursday, you should have come along with me; it was most humbling experience. ‘Kidz in the Middle’ at the Rioch Stadium saw all aspects of solutions offered to disabled children. It was heartening at the number of parents and kids who turned up at the ‘Newlife’ stand to say a personal ‘thank you’ to staff for their help and assistance. It certainly gives me a more generous view of the world we live in than the one so often portrayed in the news media.
I didn’t realise at £1 per go what hard work it was collecting. I have published the first 100 or so guesses, which must have raise £200 +. Some people gave more than £1 and only wanted one guess, some gave but were no bothered about the medal etc.. The interesting sub 2 hour clocking, when told that the particular time was impossible, retorted that that was the predicted time at which I would drop out!!! So we now have a sub competition by default ... the finishing time also doubles up as the time at which I trudge to a road side halt! Thanks friends.
I have not used names, just initials ... if anyone wants to alter ... get in touch.
