ubereglu Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Good Luck Ali. Martin-Clare and Rosie are definitely taking part in the race for life! It's the day after the Dorset get together, so that makes it the 24th June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I think Clare and Rosie are taking part also! Good Luck Everyone! Yes me and my mum are doing it....We do it every year! We'll be running it along with everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 What date are you racing Rosie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Our race is on 14th June, the day after the Dorset gathering. Rosie and I do it together now, and raised nearly £350 last year... so if anyone wants to sponsor us........ just PM me. I started 5 years ago and used to run it, my best time was 27 mins for 5km. But now we do it together, so there's less running going on! Here's a picture of us just before the race last year: The shorts are a dare by a friend - he will sponsor me £25, but only if I wear the shorts!!

Tina C Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Didn't think you looked your usual stylish self in that photo Clare!!!! Well done everyone for taking part, especially Rosie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiglet Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I also have done it every year since 2000, in about 35 mins. Usually at Sutton Park in Birmingham. This year it's the same day as the Omlet gathering but I'm hoping to come straight afterwards - anyone bringing a portable shower - ha ha! so forgive me if I don't look my best!

The Dogmother Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 It'll be lovely to see you again Sarah - good luck. The venue for ours is a lovely stately home, so the course is fab and we all stay afterwards for a picnic if the weather is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Can you believe it....Jane Tomlinson has been getting hate mail and abusive phonecalls accusing her of being a fraud. This amazing woman has raised thousands of pounds for cancer research and is terminally ill with breast cancer. Do the contemptible morons who are doing this to her not think that she would have been exposed as a fraud before now if what they say is true. She has been interviewed on telly with the doctors who are looking after her often enough on Look North....I think they might have mentioned it if she were lying. There are some real low life's out there for whom there is no charitable explanation or excuse....they are the dregs....I was going to say of humanity....but there is no humanity in them. What a world we live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Makes you mad....and sad, doesn't it Eglutine. Jane is an inspiration to us all. A lot can be learnt from such a brave lady. Love the shorts Clare! I think Rosie needs a matching pair too though this year. Hers and hers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
