Recommended Posts

Some of you very generously sponsored me for my last 2 Great North runs so I'm begging again. Members who are new to this Forum may be interested in details of my previous runs. doug's website

If you wish to contact me please do so through the forum PM or e-mail links.

Originally I had hoped to do better that the 2 hours 17 mins for last year but I'm being realistic now. Although my arm has effectively fully recovered my right thigh muscles and buttock are still giving me gip. So my ambition is just to finish the course.

The run takes place on Sept. 18th and this year the has been a record 50,000 entries - it being the 25th anniversary of the first run.

From last year's run The Hunters Moor Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit (Just up from the RVI in Newcastle) have acquired a Laser, and an ultrasonic unit both are being well used to enhance the acupuncture and pain relief programs. The Physio' dept. told me today that the new exercise bicycle is due to arrive on 6th July.

Edit, I forgot to mention that I am now 68

Just to show I've not gone to sleep, I got shot on the exercise bike this morning. This was purchased with the balance of the monies from last year as well as a kit of tools. The bike only turned up last week.

As per last year, anyone sponsoring me please PM me with your details (including given and family names as I got confused with some of your monikers).

Anyone wishing to sponsor me from outside the UK I can now provide the IBAN and SWIFT codes together with the SORT code and account number. I'm not looking for any donations yet, just the pledges, Pounds, Euros, dollars, Yen, etc. In fact any form of spondulas will be very welcome.

doug, why not open a PayPal account?

Much easier to manipulate than loads of cheques and things piling in. Yes, there is a fee but then there is a fee for using your bank account as well.

I'll put a donation into a PayPal account for you. :) :) :)
