...on the evening of Ian's funeral, I came up with this plan for me and Roger to enter the Great North Run. I had no idea at that point how big this would turn out to be. We have raised well over £11,000 and I am still staggered by it. The money continues to pour in.
The team overall seem pretty excited, but there are also some nerves kicking about. It is a funny thing, because this is such an enormous event in it's own right, add to it the reason why we are doing it, who we are doing it with and the fact that people have seen fit to sponsor us over £11,000 - the whole thing is quite mind blowing.
I have just booked the last taxi for the team and all of our arrangements are in place.
The BBC got in touch earlier in the week and they want to interview the team as part of their live programme on BBC 1 between 0930-1330 this Sunday. There are also a couple of points on the race with BBC crews where we can stop off for a chat, to let 'em know how we are fairing.
Quite a few of us plan to do that, so we might make quite and appearance on the tele.
