Ladies and gents,

I wouldn't normally do this but please indulge me.

On 17th July, Red Baroness (Ililacit), RaeM, Spangles and I will be running the Race for Life in Hyde Park. All funds raised go to Cancer Research UK. This is a cause particularly close to my heart and I'm delighted to be running it with my fellow Hitchers.

I appreciate it's a tough time for us all financially but should any of you have a spare couple of pounds, please do consider donating it to this very worthy cause. We'd be delighted to receive any donations!

I've attached our link https://raceforlife.cancerresearchuk.org/

If you're unable to donate or simply don't wish to, please do raise a glass to us on the day!

Thanks very much, Hitchers,

RB, RaeF, Spangles and CB

    Thanks so much to all of the lovely people who've sponsored us, indicated that they will or have sent their best wishes. We really appreciate it. The sponsorship money is well spent and we thank you on their behalf.

    Sending lots of jolly wishes to the others running it too! Well done you!

    Just wanted to say well done guys... I've reached my limit of sponsoring my friends and pupils who have just done this race in Essex, but if I get any spare cash before you run, I'll get a few quid in the pot!

    I will absolutely sponsor.

    However, I am poorer than a church mouse until payday at the end of the month so please keep bumping the thread until then! (I also have the memory of a fish).

    P.S. An update for anyone who might want a bit of gossip about me. I had (what I hope to be) my last radiotherapy session this week. Further tests and so on to come but I am firmly on the mend. Thanks to all of you who have been in touch, and a big thanks to my super duper ladies who've kept me going through this x
