It's official we are coming out of retirement! Over the past two years to much good living has taken its toll, so we have decided we need to get back into shape and this time we have a great reason for doing it.
Phil - About a year ago my mum was diagnosed with MS. Since her diagnosis she has received a lot of help and support from the local MS Branch. Due to this I felt I should give something back to the society by trying to raise as much money as possible by doing the Great North Run again. Last time I did it in 2hrs52seconds and now want to go under two hours.
Pete - as my Dad has a similar illness and has had help from the MS Society I would love you all to sponsor me to do my 2nd Great North Run. In 2007 I did it in 1hr54 and want to beat it this time. Phil and I raised £1100 last time and would love to get just as much this time. However with the credit crunch we know this might be difficult which makes your support even more valuable. Cheers for reading and hopefully sponsoring !! Lloydie
The money we raise will be going to the Lancaster & Morecambe MS branch which will be a great help to MS sufferers in the local area providing them with the much needed help and support they require.
Now I know there has been quite a few charity events on here recently and your probably thinking oh no not more people after money but the money is going direct to a local charity and who knows it might even be helping someone you know. So if you could spare a few pounds and help support us it would be greatly appreciated as we really do need all the encouragement we can get.
