Red face 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.

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

Thanks again

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

When I get paid next week, I shall sponsor you 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.

Thank you Sam. Have just watched the video (after watching the cats ) it was very moving. Absolutely brilliant how everyone comes together for a good cause. I am looking forward to doing my little bit and will let you all know how things are going.

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
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 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

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

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

Cheers and thank you

Lynne

Well its two days now till I do my "Race for Life" and I am really excited about it.

Have just realised that I have broken my second sponsor target of £250
thanks to everyone who has sponsored me

Hopefully will update my funds after Sunday to see what I have raised in total.

So come on all you good folks....last chance to dig deep.

Thanks so much again to everyone and will let you all know how I done on Sunday.
