good luck with your run and thanks for your advice so far
 
Yes, good luck Alan. Well done you, proud of you. Hope you are feeling reasonably ok and manage to get through, and hope you have a lovely time in Bristol tomorrow. Not brave enough to travel that far just yet.....!

Thank you Gail, delb and Tina, I will try to do you proud! 🙂 Currently trying to make sure I have all my tickets, medications, running outfit components (it's more complicated than you might think!), 'normal' clothes maps, phone numbers, timetables, gadgets, snacks - think that's it! 😱
 
Oh it won't matter if you don't have room for the 'normal clothes!' :D
 
Good luck tomorrow Alan - hope it goes well and you get lots of publicity for the cause

Knighthood in the post...:D
 
Good luck Alan - well proud of you. Amanda xx 🙂
 
Good luck, Allan! Can't wait to hear all about it 🙂

Vicki 🙂

Good Luck ....
 
Well one thing about it, my 16yo grandson will sympathise with Alan regarding the actual difficulty of concealing a pair of fairy wings in a carrier bag as you go about your normal daily routine prior to the Event.

They had a school disco last night which was Fancy Dress and you had to go as a character from a book. So some of them went as the cast of Cinderella.

All lads. All Rugger players, Tim is over six feet, with size 11 feet and a six-pack to die for.

Did I mention that they didn't include any of the male characters?

He was the Fairy Godmother. (just Cinders, FG, WSM and 2 US.)

His mother said last week as he was putting his costume together - it comes to something when your son (body, not face or stance LOL) looks better in a dress than you ever did?
 
Bumping up in the hope that some last minute sponsorship comes in for this worthy cause.
Alan has reached 88% of his goal thanks to all the donations so far which is fairy good.
 
The 'Just Giving' link is not working - it hasn't been all day long. Don't know if there is anything anyone can do about it?
 
Wondering who managed to arrange for Kate Bush to be on TV as a boost to Alans moral this evening:D

Hope you managed to watch it in the hotel Alan🙂

We will be thinking of you tomorrow

Xx
 
A misty start in the South West. Alan was saying yesterday how hot he gets running in the outfit (100% nylon 😱), especially the wig.

Hope it goes well today Alan. Will keep an eye on the local news in case you get any coverage!
 
Have just made another small donation - come on everyone - just a little bit more to get Alan to his target.

He's certainly doing something I could never contemplate doing, and choosing to step outside of his own comfort zone (though I think secretly he's enjoying the cross dressing bit :D) to go in fancy dress, he really does deserve our support. It would be fantastic to get him to his target.

GO ALAN, GO!!!
 
The mist has burned off now and the sun has broken through, its going to be a hot one for the Bath Half Marothon runners, so good luck Alan, hope it goes well for you.

John.
 
Hope he is doing well or I want me money back! 😉:D

Sending a big shout out to you Alan and really our thoughts are with you today and glad it's tuned out nice.

You're a trouper Alan and we are so grateful for the challenge you are facing today but most of all.....


You're our winner!
