Earlier in the week my fundraising pack arrived and today my running number and race entry pack were waiting when I arrived back from court. So I will need to continue with my long hikes in the coming weeks to ensure I will be fit to go the thirteen miles from Newcastle to South Shields on Sunday 1st October. For this event I am planning to wear a lightweight all black polycotton Mercy Kilt. There are usually around two or three hundred kilted participants, of a total entry of around forty thousand. I am planning to take part as a fundraiser for Chest, Heart and Stroke, Scotland. Their volunteers have been very helpful and take my dear wife Ann to a local hall for mental and physical stimulation for two hours every Monday while I'm making the weekly visit to the supermarket. If anyone wishes to sponsor me on line, here is a link to my fundraising page.
