Hello all
On the 12th July iam taking part in a sponsored bike ride from Manchester to Blackpool in aid of Christies hospital in Manchester.
The Hospital is well known for its fantastic work for the treatment and cure for cancer patients and is the best in Europe so therefore iam taking this opportunity to play my part and keep it that way as most of us will be affected by cancer one way or another

For more info regarding the event then follow this link

Simon, I wish you the very best and I think you're an awesome man for giving up your time and energy to a cause like this. It gives people hope when they see someone dedicate so much effort to help those in need. I wish I could do this with you!

Thankyou Katie for those nice words

Theres a tenner man, good luck with it, crap disease, hope it goes well

Edit: I want my money back if you end up doing it on a motorbike

Wow!! Thankyou Mike for your donation....i assure you it will be all pedal power

No worries mate, maybe Niall will blow the moths away from his wallet and trump my donation now.......maybe Red will donate some of his ridiuclously high Irish dole money as well

When we have the meet up on Saturday, I will endeavour to steal some cash from the lads to further enhance your fund there........we are having a pool competition in the afternoon so I might be able to get a % of the buy in donated to your fund.....let you know on Sunday how tight they all are

Nice one Simon, I'll sign up to that later and put mmt's donation to shame

See, he never could resist a challenge, Ill bait them all into far exceeding your target tids

Never thought id say this...but.....i luv ya guys, your true gentlemen
Donation via good old banter...cheers

WHEN I win the pool comp I'll donate 25%

Schlater Niall ye!

I will give 10pound to Christies Hospital, when i was having my treatent the care they gave was unbelieveable, so Tids good Luck with your bike ride its brill thing you are doing

Thankyou all and thankyou too chris and sri123 and cheeky for there generous donations, im half way to meeting my target so a big thankyou....i now qualify for a medal and certificate too (minimum £25 raised to get that)

Chris being keoghz? or chris? or a chris i don't know lol

I say you melt down that medal and donate the cash back into the fund

I spoke to Red last night and we agreed that we will donate a % of the buy in price of the tournament to this, might not be much as most of them are paupers, but I'll try to get a % from the winner as well!

Noticed Niall still has yet to fulfil his promise of a donation.........liar!

Every bit helps Mike and its much appreciated...i wont mention who chris is as they (it might be a christine for all you know lol) want anomosity.....Anyway lets hope that % is £2 or more as the minimum donate is £2 ;-)

It will be more than £2 tids, that i promise ya....Ill get em all drunk and steal money if I have to, you got yaself a dedicated fundraiser here

Blame my missus, she sees these ads on tv and gets things through the door asking for donations and always wants to donate. Normally I don't do it but when I back something, I back it

i so dont want animosity, theres already plenty of that on here - i just want anonymity

ooops damn!!!

good luck with the appeal mate
