Hovis, the Cardiff Half Marathon
 

Well peeps,

I have recently got off the phone with the good people at Channel 4.

They can't promise to get anything organised as yet, but will be in communication with me over the next 10 days to see if they can fit something in to the programme on Sunday 18th giving coverage of the Cardiff Half Marathon. They have been incredibly touched and suprised at the number of messages on Lilys RIP thread and by the total now raised for Velindre Cancer Care and I will communicate with Lily over their involvement as well.

I will update this post as I recieve news.

One thing that they did mention was the possibility of having a group of us there in support. One large group all wearing one colour (yellow of course) would make for fantastic tv (I expected nothing less than for them to consider that) and so my question is:-

Would anyone be prepared to go to Cardiff on the 18th and support our fallen friend in his support of this very deserving charity???

-Also I emailed the organiser's of the half marathon last night and explained what has happened. I also spoke of how the fund raising had gone from just over 200 to over 1000 in just under 24 hours since we found out.
I should hear back from them today (hopefully) I requested if somebody could run in his name or could a group of us share the distance to complete the run in his name. As soon as i have a reply.... I will post it on here!

Didn't he want to run it in that godawful bananaman costume? Seems only fitting that whoever runs the marathon does so in that costume!
