YOGA-GA

Once again a bit thank you to everyone who has contributed,  Due to the media exposia of last week we are well on our way.

A very special thank you goes out to a certain someone, who’s  extraordinary  generosity  now means that we are now up to our target and within sight of the full cost of a SEGWAY

Please continue to sponsor us, as any further funds raised will be used to help others in similar situations

Did my first long off road run this weekend, after having to abandon last Sundays due to the blizzard of snow and hail that left me frozen to the bone… and out of action for the week with the snivel!

All went well and completed in 4 hrs 20min so not bad after a week in bed.

Once again a big thanks to everyone who has so far donated to George, we are now well over half way to our goal of £4000 currently standing at £2219 raised.

With 8 weeks to go it finally looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel.

We were on the Meridian News on Tuesday 25th March, it was a great boost the the profile of what we are trying to do for George and so far the feedback has been fantastic, Click Here to see the online item

We now have a Facebook group for the RUN FOR GEORGE campaign, if anyone want to join then please click below

This Sunday was the dreaded Hastings 1/2 Marathon, which even with the seasonally inclement weather and relentless hills  provide me with a PB of 02:09:55 and placing me 2617th out of 3704.

Getting there slowly.. but surely…Times creeping up, but felt strong at the finish even managing a good sprint over the line

We have been contacted by Meridian News this week, they have heard about the RUN FOR GEORGE campaign and want to run a story to help promote it, this is great news and we are relay looking forward to doing some filming with them on Wednesday this week so watch this space..

This Saturday Nick from “Southern Segway” came down to Hove park so George could test run a SEGWAY and give us a chance to show off what we were trying to do to the local paper, much to the interest of the weekly 5km race competitors whom use the park on a Saturday morning.

This Saturday I ran my first “Long Run” of 16 miles, 3 1/2 hours battling driving rain and the strong winds that threatened to wash us out to sea as we ran along the under cliff back from Rottingdean… not sure whether 26miles now seems more realistic or just more of a impossibility

Just a quick apology to “Southern Segway” who we have been working with on this project as we had the wrong link posed on the site, please feel free to revisit the RUN FOR GEORGE page and check them out.

This Saturday Nick Thurston  from Southern Segway is coming down to see us so we should have some great photos and video to post next week.
