Good Luck to all of you who will be taking part in a Race for Life, please keep us posted of how well you do.

Hey hey, obviously I have to add my best wishes to everyone that's running it!

Also, can I just say, seeing as it's vaguely relevent in this thread - my friends are b******s!!! I set up the web page for donations when my friend (who's not a runner) set hers up - she's gotten LOADS of sponsorship, BUT when it comes to me, I got like £10, and everyone was like "oh it's not going to be that much of a challenge for you, surely?" and I told them all they were heartless idiots and that it was a good cause - regardless of whether I suffered. So then I was told that they're not used to giving up their money unless I'm suffering (eg when I raised 400 quid for getting my dreads chopped off)... so now I've had to resort to bribery to raise money... I have told them that if I raise £100 before the race I will do it as a pink fairy - wearing a pink tutu with wings and a wand, etc... and of course the donations came flooding it... eargh.

Sorry I had to moan about that one a bit. Ahwell, it'll be a good larf, I'm doing it on the 15th of June I think in Shef, so no doubt I'll post some pics, just to really embarrass myself as much as possible.
