Wow, well done Alan, so very proud of you! You are an asbsolute trooper! RESPECT! Katiexx
 
...sniff...sniff... so proud....sniff

:D
 
Brilliant!

London Marathon next then!?!
 
Well done to my adopted brother, he put a lot of hard work into this project, and I join all the others in supporting the call for the award of "HERO OF THE MONTH".

Some of you know that I have difficulty walking. To show what sort of man Alan is, inspite of needing to get back to his hotel to organise himself and rest for the run, on Saturday night after the meet, he walked with me in the
oposite direction to where he was going, just to make sure I got to the taxi rank ok, what a guy. thanks Alan.

John.
 
very well done alan 🙂
 
Congratulations Alan! Looking forward to the full report (no holds barred) 🙂
 
Congratulations Alan - hope the make up stayed on for you !!

Update and pictures asap please x
 
Well done Alan!! Definitely Hero of the Month! 🙂 Hope you're recovering & not too sore! xx
 
Thanks to everyone for all your wonderful support, and for being so generous in sponsoring me. It choked me up to come back and see that you'd all helped me to reach (and surpass!) my target! 🙂 The page will accept donations for another two months, if anyone was waiting to see if I'd go through with it 😉

I'll write up a report on my blog and hopefully get it posted today, with some pictures (of someone who looks vaguely like me, but with pain and suffering etched across his fairy face! 😱)
 
Glad to hear you survived the event - looking forward to seeing the photos and hearing your version of the race. We tried to look out for a fairy on the SW news but you didn't feature - there was a lion and a few other oddities but no fairy ! Boo !!
 
Finally managed to put together a blog post about the run, interspersed with random pictures taken at various points around the course 🙂 It's a bit of an epic!

Absolutely brilliant Alan, well done! :D
 
Fantastic - congratulations! Amazing bloods too!
 
Fantastic run and blog Alan. Well done.
May I ask what you will be going dressed as next year? :D
 
I really enjoyed reading your blog Alan, brilliant. I am so very pleased you reached your target, in fact I remember you started with a lower target, then increased it as the sponsorship rolled in. Well done you, something to be really proud of.

Do you have loads of aches and pain now, or have you recovered well?

So when, where, and who are you raising money for next time???

Thanks Tina 🙂 I'm more or less recovered now - I went out for a short run yesterday and am planning a longer one tomorrow, don't want to lose the impetus!

I think I would really like to raise money for the Life For a Child charity:
