Charity Choices 

He said that as Cancers charities are so all pervading he would give contributors the choice of which charity to support. It can be for research, for treatments, or for care. Stephen Griffiths has kindly offered to help account for the donations.   Your pledge is what is important at this point. Telephone 777446 or put a slip through his front door with details on the amount you would like to pledge, whether or not you are a tax payer and the name of your cancer charity.

 Want to join him?

John will be delighted if anyone wants to join him for the full marathon or any of the legs.  Remember though there are none of the sophisticated arrangements expected at the London Marathon so it will be at your own risk! If you don’t feel totally prepared what about supporting him along the route and particularly at the start and finish? 

Good luck John.
