This is the defining moment of your life when you stand up to be counted as a hero. Immortality is yours.........so take it!<br /><br />Ok so that was a little dramatic but what you are about to do is still pretty important. I can't promise you riches or medals or glory but i can guarantee you a warm fuzzy<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> feeling inside which is kind of like a medal you wear on the inside.<br /><br />On the 10th July Gary 'fat boy' Knight is running the London 10k for The Parachute Regiment charity. The Parachute regiment charity is a special organisation dedicated to supporting our hero's and their families of the airborne forces. The things theses guys do is totally awesome. For example:<br /><br /><br />Bespoke wheelchairs<br /><br />Equipment to enable an amputee to enter Paralympic cycling<br /><br />Travel and accommodation costs for soldiers attending commemorations such as Arnhem and Normandy<br /><br />Helping towards special mobility vehicle for a soldier&rsquo;s disabled child<br /><br />Travel and hotel costs to enable families of those killed to attend memorial parades or services<br /><br />Soldiers&rsquo; adventure training and sports teams<br /><br />Family days aimed at providing support and communication during deployment<br /><br />Transport costs for overseas relatives of wounded soldiers<br /><br />Help with family funeral costs<br /><br /><br />The reason this charity is soooooooo darn important to me is that my father served in the regiment including tours in the Falklands and 2 in Northern Ireland. He came home in one piece. Not everyone does. Also i have a number of friends who have/are serving in Afghanistan. This is also for them.<br /><br />So if you like the thought of Gary 'monkey boy' Knight trying to do 10k inside an hour please go on my Just Giving site and sponsor me! <br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.justgiving.com/gary-knight2" target="_blank"><span>www.justgiving.com/gary-kn</span>ight2</a><br /><br /><br />Yes i know times are hard but i'm sure we can all spare a quid. So in the words of celebrity scrounger Sir Bob Geldof "just give us yer fuckin money"<br /><br />Also for those of you who can make it i will be celebrating surviving the race by getting pissed. Come along and i might just get the beers in.<br /><br />And remember......ask not what your Gary Knight can do for you but what you can do for your Gary Knight!</span></div>
