Dear Friends

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. First an apology. Many of you supported me in 2023 for my ‘final’ Great North Run! Well, I’ve been a bad boy and broken the promise, because I am energised by the cause, Prostate Cancer UK, a great charity, and one that is helping all too many men, including friends of mine. But this really will be the ‘final final’, not least as the knees and much else are groaning at the thought! However, not only is the charity energising me, but I am inspired by those like Kevin Sinfield. OK, he’s a bit younger and fitter than me, but if he can put himself through the pain, in his case for MND Association, why can’t I? There will be no personal best. The plan was to get round (see below) so my personal best of 02:27:30 was never in danger!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity. If you can add Gift Aid, so much the better.

September 13 was the day and I got round even if in the heat there was inevitable walking. There were some 62,999 other runners (actually a bit less on the day), including the Prime Minister! I was in the pink zone at the back. I found it more exciting!

Thanks so much for your donation, and thanks also on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK. You’ve been most generous and I hugely appreciate it.

Best regards

Anthony
