    Brilliant mate. I will hoy a couple of quid in for it.

    Played in a charity match once for bairns with cancer. It was a bit of an old pros and coaches in derbyshire thing. We had mascots leading us out who were battling the bloody disease. Just about broke my heart talking to their parents.

    Donated mate...a small amount but I hope it helps. I love cycling.......one of my favourite sports to watch, particularly the main Tours(sad I know). Doing 150 miles in one day is no easy feat. Chapeau to you all... the helpers and the riders<cheers>

    Donated. Good luck to everyone involved hope they aren't to sore the next day <laugh>

    Did a pier to pier (roker to shields) for the bairns footy team and I was ****ed for about 3 days afterwards.

    On a serious note, I've been lucky enough to recover from that disease so every penny into research to help others is welcome. :emoticon-0150-hands

    Donated a fiver mate. Good to see how much he's raised so far and a great cause. I hope he's not too knackered afterwards!

    James asks me to pass on his appreciation to all who supported him. Think he was quite astonished that strangers who don’t know him and only tenuously know the link ( me) to him can be so thoughtful - but , that’s just the measure and calibre of the participants of our little world here. Cheers fellas 89ae68ff-8748-4a56-a345-3bd51242f558.jpeg
