Asking for something as usual !!
 
I know I don't post on here as regular as I used to but as the saying goes in the North East...."shy bairns get nowt!!"

I have been very cheeky by posting this but its a sure fire way of you all finding out what I am doing for charity.

"THE RACE FOR LIFE"

Over the last few years Professional Princess and Geordie Mandy (amongst others) have done this race and raised a wonderful amount of money and awareness for the charity with the help of BE and others.

If you can give a little it all helps and it also encourages me to run the race and not walk it!!!! Not many of you know me but I am no athlete so by doing this, even though its only 5km it will feel like a marathon. If you are a UK taxpayer, at least an extra 25% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you when you tick the Gift Aid box. So go on....please give a little donation for a big cause, it all helps.

If You would like to donate you can go to my my website which is http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/lynneerrington

Thanks again for your support. I will keep you all up to date with how things are going.

Lynne :)

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but no doubt it will be moved if I have done it wrong.
Think I should have posted this at more sensible time as well :o

Thanks again
Lynne :)

It's the right place. Would be a good idea though to put the link in your signature and then post lots. Hopefully you'll get more money that way. Good luck :thumbsup:

When I get paid next week, I shall sponsor you:thumbup: I would have been doing it with my sisters this year - the Welwyn and Hatfield one.:(

Actually, here is the link to the video I made in Race for Life 2006 - I have it on a Cancer Research support site on Facebook.
Turn your speakers on, turn the volume up - I dedicate it to everyone who has lost someone from this disease.

Another update for you all.

I have now started the jogging side of training. I used to only run to the end of our road and be out of breath.....well now I am very proud to tell you all that I can run nearly!!!! a full 2 miles with a little stop in between :o
I have to say its not as easy as it looks. I certainly admire all the other runners in the world.

I have now GONE OVER my original fundraising target :thumbsup::thumbsup: thank you everyone. So come on....keep donating.... dig deep :)

Thank you to all those who have donated and all those who are going to donate ;)

Well two weeks to go before my race and I have to say I am quite proud of myself :thumbsup:

Considering about 3 months ago I couldn't run to the end of the street....now I can run (roughly) just over 3 miles.

My sponsorship has gone over my initial limit so another :thumbsup:

Come on then guys help me out and get me over my target for a good cause.

Cheers and thank you

Lynne :)
