The Race for Life: In memory of Christopher.


Today is the anniversary of a very courageous young man, my nephew Christopher, losing his fight against cancer last year. Known as Nelly to his mates - he turned up at school one day sporting a plaster on one cheek - apparently rap artist Nelly used to do that. Sport the plaster that is, not turn up at school. Not that I'm saying Nelly bunked off or anything - I didn't know him as a child. Anyway, the point is, of course, that I'm doing the Race for Life for Christopher. Though when I say 'Race' I am using the term in the loosest possible sense; likely it'll be The Stroll-with-the-possibility-of-breaking-into-a-slight-jog for Life. Or a Shimmy for Life, if I remember to borrow an I-Pod. If you'd like to donate, all you have to do is click that race for Life button just there on the left.

Duly done Scatty :o) It's not much, but hope it helps get you to your target :o)

And as I've said on the page...so what if it's a Stroll-with-the-possibility-of-breaking-into-a-slight-jog for Life - it's still impressive and a worthy cause I might add! :o)

Thanks foxy, really appreciate it. :)

I hope I've recovered for the following Friday!

There's only one ticket left now apparently! My friend would have had it, but it was table 26 or something!
