Boloc's to this good Cause
Discussion
Now then I apologise to everyone (including the moderators) for this off-topic post, but I am just trying to do everything I can to help a good friend of mine.
I am doing a fancy dress charity run starting at 11am on Sunday 5th August, starting from Bournemouth Pier and running to Boscombe Pier. It is to raise funds for a friend of mine called Zan (you may have seen the story in the local paper) who had a near-fatal bike accident in Germany at the Nurburgring 6 weeks ago where he punctured a lung, smashed up his arm and had pretty bad head injuries (sorry to be so graphic).
Amazingly from 2 sponsors alone we raised the £6500 to get him home to a UK hospital yesterday, and we are raising funds for his continued medical care for him (as he is still in intensive care), to get him back on his feet and home with his 3 young children & partner. He has made amazing progress so far, but still has a long way to go.
So I just wanted to ask if anyone would be so kind as to sponsor me to do the run. You can turn up on the day and sponsor or you can fill in my sponsorship form if I see you before.
What's in it for you I hear you say....
Well, Zan gets the medical care he needs, and I get to dress up like this:
Thanks for reading, I hope some people may be able to help.
Cheers

It has to be worth a few quid to go along and watch. Video on youtube in due course, naturally.

Mini... you'd better be careful with that outfit on... what with your jointless knees... could be very embarrassing if you haven't got clean knickers on (or worse).
put me down for a tenner... but i want to see the photos!
ha ha!! The outfit comes with special big pants to retain one's dignity - and the best bit - there is a little stripy bee-sting attached to the pants, so I might get it out if I feel threatened!! Get yer swatters at the ready!! put me down for a tenner... but i want to see the photos!
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored so far, you're all very kind - it will make such a difference.
This is a story that was on the local news last night. He's getting better gradually but is going to need a hell of a lot of specialist rehabilitation.
