Story

WIN A 2011 LONDON MARATHON MEDAL

  When my five year old grandson was born, he was rushed to the Radcliffe Children’s Hospital in Oxford because the Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry was unable to offer him the life support facilities that he required. My daughter and son-in-law lived in at the hospital in Oxford for a short time, their small daughter staying with us. As a family, they did a sponsored bike ride from Coventry to Oxford to celebrate my grandson’s third birthday, raising a couple of thousand pounds for the Children’s Charity in the process. My grandson has benefitted from the Newlife Charity so it is my turn to do a little in return. 

For each £1 you pledge, you are allowed one guess at my finishing time; the closest wins a choice of my medal, or my t-shirt or my foil blanket or my runner’s bag etc. . The next closest has a choice of what is left etc. Until everything is won.

When you donate DO NOT forget to leave your predicted time in the comment box with your name. You can follow my progress on my blog Colin Kirkham’s London Marathon Trudge
