Don't seem to have a thread for this, but Francis Benali is doing another charity event for Cancer Research UK ... he started at Bournemouth yesterday, and is going to be running/cycling to EVERY premier league and championship ground, before arriving back at St Marys at the half-time interval of our Burnley match on 16 October.

Unfortunately doesn't seem to be getting much coverage anywhere.
 
Every day he will run a minimum of one marathon (26.2 miles) and cycle more than twice that distance.

At £275,000 raised so far.

Highlights of the first 2 days. The man is mad. You have got to admire his determination. Rickie said he would have joined in but he's injured at the moment :rolleyes:

We should all write to the BBC about a special award to be presented on Sports Personality of the Year night.

Right matey, you draw up the template and address it, and invite people to copy and paste it and swap it around so that they don't have to go to all the trouble to write it themselves. You know what lazy sods they are on here. Me included now. ;)
