Evening All.
In about 12 hours, I'll be on my way to Paris - and I'm not sure if I'll have any major internet access while I'm away. So, this is my last wee bit of promotion for my run. I'm amazed that I've now reached the dizzy hights of 1784 quid in donations for Cancer Research. I suppose I'd better go and run the bl00dy thing now....
Here's the site, if anyone else would care to donate, although I understand that a lot of you have given VERY generously to both me and Super Ally. But no harm forcing it down your throat (as the bishop said to the actress... )

Just a suggestion and probably too late but what was your best mates favourite song? Just so you can skip to that for the last stretch?
