Shameless appeal for sponsorship! Empty Shameless appeal for sponsorship!

Post by HongKongCherry Wed 25 Apr 2012, 4:00 pm

As many of you will know I am as one eyed as they come when talking about my beloved Gloucester. They can do no wrong in my eyes, I just need to close my eyes a lot to achieve that. Several months ago I entered a rather stupid charity event due to take place this weekend with the complete confidence that I would have to cancel due to Gloucester's appearance in the HC semi-finals. It has just come to my attention that somehow we didn't qualify which means I'm stuck partaking in the event, much to my distain!

So on a serious note, I am supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care this Saturday and taking part in their swimathon which I'm doing twice and will be swimming 10km (or 6.2 miles, 400 lengths or about 4 hours) - a rather ridiculous distance for an ex-prop! They are a fantastic charity supporting terminally ill cancer patients and their families, but their resources are stretched very thinly. They need to raise £10,000 every hour to keep going and £20 pays for an hour's care whether in a hospice or at home. So if you're feeling generous and want to support this amazing cause, or you simply want to pay for the pleasure of seeing me suffer you can sponsor me here http://bit.ly/JNLEMz

Posting this also removes my anonymity of hiding behind HongKongCherry and a superhero should never reveal his true name! So thank you to all and any support, I truly appreciate it.

Cheers,

Ed

(p.s. any mods, I cleared this with Adam)

No worries. Tomorrow I'll even donate (tomorrow's payday!)

Last year when I did my 10km run (I'm also an ex-prop) for the Chch earthquake a bunch of 606ers chipped in a decent amount.

Kiwi, we're giving props a bad name. We should be at the bar, not doing exercise!

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Chequered Jersey, you are a legend! Thank you very, very much OK

With that kind of generosity I can just about forgive the thumpings Quins have given Glaws at The Stoop in recent years!

You're welcome, it's a good cause and I might well be posting a similar link for a marathon in a few months. Hope it goes well

Let me know when you do and I shall gladly repay the generosity.

A huge thank you to the generosity and help of 606. I'm shattered but have raised £440, so far... OK
