I beg your indulgence for a few minutes.

I've just noticed that she has had another couple of donations today.

One from Phil_hg_uk, who is fine figure of a fellow I'll be bound, very many thanks, I hope your sprockets are never sprangled.

And one from a Simon Leg, is that someone here, 'cos we don't know who that is? Simon if you are a CCer thank you everso much, if you were a girl I'd chat you up so I would.

An update:

I thought those of you who have invested in this project of Jane's would like to know that she has reached the peak of her training this week. To date she has ran over 550 miles since December, and cycled 684 as part of training plan. Today was the end of the hardest week of traing with 10 miles yesterday and 20.2 miles today, a total of 51.14 running miles this week, and 50 miles cycling this week.

From now the mileage gets shorter as she ramps down the training and she will be running the Marathon three weeks today.

Thank you everyone for your generous support.

Just two weeks to go! Jane's training is still going to plan, and is starting to get easier. She ran the Bournemouth Half Marathon yesterday in a very good time, so it all looking good for the 21st April in the London Marathon.

[QUOTE 2412633, member: 259"]Nice one, Carl, and all the best to Jane. Bloody great achievement! [/quote]

Thanks Mort, I'll pass on the message.

She has asked me to thank all the CC'ers for the generous donations, which came at time when she was quite despondent with the fund raising aspect of this project, and donations from other sources were very slow coming in. Your donations really did help spur her on during this period and she is extremely grateful to you all.

I myself would like to thank you too, I am humbled by your generosity, and it's even more remarkable that those of you that don't even know us have shown such generosity and faith. Many thanks CC'ers, you're FAB lot, even if some you are a bit odd.

 

[EltonFrog]

Speicher! You are an absolute love and no mistake. Thank you.

 

[EltonFrog]

Jane had a another donation at daft o'clock this morning, from "another CC nutter" the donation was anonymous on the site, but his initials are MW. So thank you MW,you should be in bed a 2 o clock in the morning not up sponsoring folk, but anyway you're a supersmashingluvverlyjubblyticketyboo sort of a chap and I hope your valves stay upright for many years to come.

I don't have a cycle chat top alas, she'll be running in a cancer research top, along with several thousand others I shouldn't wonder.

[QUOTE 2416400, member: 259"]I'm not sponsoring anyone who's not running in a gorilla suit. [/quote]

Too late Mort, we've got ya money!

 

[EltonFrog]

Compo! Many thanks mate, your a top chap so you are.

 

[EltonFrog]

I thought I'd give this a little bump.

The morning of the Marathon is here. Its 7:20, Jane is at the hotel in London, she's had her breakfast, and is just chilling before she makes her way to the start line. Once again Cycle Chatters many thanks for your very kind and generous donations, I know she is immensely grateful to you all for your support and kind words, and I am humbled by your generosity.

I'm just off now to go see if I can find her amongst the thousands of others that are running today for great causes.
