Title: Sheffield Half Marathon - For Charity!
Post by: DaveDRFC on April 11, 2010, 02:46:26 pm

Don't know if people have seen this article (http://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10329~2020318,00.html) on the website/in the programme, but I am running the Sheffield Half Marathon in 2 weeks, raising money for the British Lung Foundation in memory of my dad who died just before Christmas. I would really appreciate it if anyone who knows me (and even a few who don't!) could spare a few quid so I can raise as much cash as possible for a very worthwhile cause.

If anyone wants to sponsor me, the fundraising website is...

Or PM me on here and I'll write your details down on my sponsor form.

Cheers!

For anyone interested, I ran the race yesterday in 1 hour 52 minutes 45 seconds, and raised over £1500 in the process!

Very well done, Dave.  A mate of mine did it in 1h:40-odd, and he said he was round about 1,000th to complete it, so you did rather well.

Cheers Rob, it was the first time I have ever run more than 8 miles so I was quite pleased with myself. Feeling it today though, I can hardly move!
