Vinnys Runners - 5km Everyday in January

Richard Beverley is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support

Vinnys 5km Everyday in January · 29 November 2021

The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

We are a group of individuals who have had the pleasure of knowing or working with the man, the myth, the legend that is Vincent Eagle.

Sadly, as many of you know Vinny / Vincenzo / Chubby Bruce Willis / The Bald Eagle / The Big Bald Baby / The Sexy Bald Man is going through a tough time at the moment and battling Oesophageal Cancer, so in the name of comradery a few of us have decided to spend a month suffering with him.

The goal is simple. Run, jog, walk or crawl 5km everyday and raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support who have been supporting Vinny in these tough times.

Macmillan Cancer Support is a charity we all hear about but probably know very little about. Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest British charities and provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer. It also looks at the social, emotional and practical impact cancer can have, and campaigns for better cancer care. Macmillan Cancer Support's goal is to reach and improve the lives of everyone who has cancer in the UK.

Our challenge will start January 1st - I couldn't think of a worse day to start either. The runners/crawlers so far are:

Richard Beverley, Danny Carter, Steve Berrill, Kristina Marriott, Robbie Leeson, Madeleine Lewis, Alastair Robertson, Andrew Wilkinson, Gavin Calder, Philip Mckechnie, David Gibson, Jeppe Madsen, Richard Taylor, Robert Webster, Sam Stephenson, Dan Stephenson, Brent Falconer, Ross McCormick, John Whooley, Tim Exter, Antonia Blake, David Knott, Eilidh Anderson, David Nisbet, Marni Lindsay, Daniel Barnard, Steven Mchaffie, Ade Anibaba, Darren Cox, Ellen Barnes, Ellie Greenwood, Jean-Luc Bruwer, Bryan Curtis, Merlin Das, Christopher Chisholm, Russell Belding, Stephen Hawes, Lindsay McCall, Daniel Todd, Rob Hickman, Racheal Stephenson, Chris Hopwood, Victoria Craig, Josephine Eagle, Alex Crowther, Obiuno Ojji, John, Hogg, Emma Baldwin, Lynette Hamilton, James Jordan, Alex Zwolle, Sarah Vine, Joseph Tait, Racheal Tullock, Chris Reilly, Stewart Nicol, John Tullock, Tom Hunter, David Houghton, Craig Stewart, Eileen Farrelly, Jayne Howard, Gemma Williams & Richard Lumley.

If you want to join us in this torturous affair then get in contact with any of the runners above or Vinny himself and we will add you to the runners list!!
