1865727 - yup. that's me, folks!
At least, that will be the number on the front of my T-shirt on 25th June 2006, when I enter the Race for Life at Hylands Park. I have picked up the gauntlet from my kid sister, and have been accepted as a "runner" this morning.
I say "runner", as my aim is to actually walk the course, but I have stepped up my gym work, and now have something specific to aim for.
A good all round package really - I'll be training to keep myself fit and the diabetes under control; to obviously raise money for Cancer UK, and also in memory of Neil, a very dear friend and complete inspiration.
I would deeply appreciate any sponsorship, but more of that nearer the time. Managed 1.5 km on the cross-trainer and 2.5 km on the treadmill at 6;30 am this morning - not that I am boasting, you understand.....

Count me in on sponsoring you. I'm going to be doing (hopefully)the Great North Run in October. I did it with Neil in 2004. I need to start training as well.

How spooky - we must have been registering at the same time!!!! Have you done the online page you can get sponsors that way. Let me know your page etc if/when you do it and I will sponsor you. I have measured (approx) the distance mine to yours = 2.5 miles so will have to walk that soon. 5k is 3.1 miles apparently. Well Done :)

Rhi and mo (and anyone else who wishes to sponsor me!)- have opened up a sponsorship website - can be found at http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/patkennett
Sorry - I haven't cracked how to do this as a hyperlink, but I can add it to my links page.
And as dear Charlie would say - "Here's thanking you in anticipation!"
