Many thanks to all who
sponsored me today; it was particularly poignant as a friend of mine
passed away in Rowans Hospice last week after (thankfully) short battle
with cancer.
I did the 128 miles (the
organisers lied about the distance), and it was bloody hilly! As far as
the anatomy is concerned, the legs and bum are fine but my feet hurt!
Time for some new cycling shoes I guess.
Once again, many thanks. I'm indebted to you all. Bug Wrightson

Memorial Statue Fund |
April 2007 |
With regards to the statue unveiling and wanting to do my bit,
firstly I won’t be able to make the unveiling but secondly, I
hope I can raise some funds. If you can find someone in UK to
run the book, I’ve already done 1000km on the bike onboard and
I’m now aiming for the 100miles on the runner. I’m also going to
do shit loads of bench press and I was thinking that if you
advertise the fact that KP is going to record the weight lifted,
they could donate a penny a pound and maybe 10p, 20p or whatever
a mile?
I know I’ve already done the 1000Km but if they want to donate for that then what the heck? |
