Please forgive the plug



As you may or may not know, I was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer (non-hogkins lymphoma) in 2007 and chemotherapy successfully put me into remission in November 2007.

I will be doing the London Marathon in 2009 (note the ?doing? and not ?running?!) in aid of the Lymphoma Association.


It was a tricky decision to decide who to run for ? do I run for the hospital and Unit that I work in (St George's Hospital), the hospital that treated me (Kings College Hospital) or an associated charity. The Lymphoma Association is the only UK charity specialising in information and support for patients and their families but is relatively small and does not have the funding streams that many other charities have.


I have a sponsorship page and would like to encourage you to have a look.



If anyone is interested I have just started a facebook group

Note the "Run" not "Do" ;-)


Good on yer! I'm a Royal Marsden supporter myself, but they all deserve it for their work.


I hope your training "Do's" have been going well....

Well, one week to go until the big day! Training has been an absolute nightmare as I came off my bike in December. Quarter ton of Thunderbird landed on my calf (as we slid along the road:-S) the muscles of which were crushed No broken bones thankfully but it took a long time to recover as one of the smaller tendons was damaged.


Been doing long runs over the last few weekends but taking a whole week to recover - I think I will get round but it will be a struggle.


I would very much appreciate it if you could sponsor me - please follow the links below

Good luck, will check out your sponsorship page. As for me i was diagnosed with non hogkins lymphoma in december, i am currently in kings having my last course of treatment, i was in over 90% remission by the halfway stage so hopefully looking good for my final scans, will definatly be giving you my support

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for their support. I have managed to raise over ?3000 plus ?650 gift aid for the Lymphoma Association.


Without my supporters including people on here, I would not have acheived such a fantastic amount.


thanks guys!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
