Yes, I made it! Not only did I finish 203rd out of over 250 runners, but I also completed the 5k course in 29mins and 4secs, improving on last year's time by a full 16 seconds. At this rate by the time I'm 100 years old I'll get it down to 20 minutes! To see the full results go to: http://www.keepyoureyeontheball.org/5KRun/documents/2008KeepYourEyeOnTheBall5K_individualresults_000.pdf
As a result I have already raised a considerable sum of money for The Institute of Cancer Research & Everyman in their work to raise awareness of, and research into, male cancers.
Many thanks to all those who have sponsored me so far. However, I am still well short of my £200 target, so if you haven't already sponsored me you can still donate until 1st August by sponsoring me on line. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Institute of Cancer Research & Everyman will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Thanks once again for your support.
