I would juet like to make a shameless plug for an event I am taking part in next month to raise funds for the Royal Marsden. It will involve walking the 14 miles between their two hospitals. Perhaps with a couple of pub-stops along the way :)
Why?
Well, as some of you know, my boy has been suffering from an unusual form of cancer and the treatment he has been receiving at the Marsden has been outstanding, and quite literally a life-saver.
So any donations, no matter how small, will be gratefully received :)
Here's the link:

Thanks in advance.

Burt,
I am happy to make a donation for both the cause and Dom. I only wish I could be there to do the walk/pub crawl 078.gif
Done Burt, wish you every success with your fund raising pub crawl/ walk 065.gif

I did the Marsden March last year...its a great event
Very, very, grateful for the best wishes and responses to date. Thank you so much!
Done, good luck mate
Nothing wrong with a shameless plug, as half of my posts recently will testify! Once payday rolls around there'll be a donation coming your way, best of luck with it.

Thanks, really appreciate that.
I see that the official club Twitter sent a tweet out about it yesterday also

Indeed... I emailed Sarah asking whether there was anything that the club could do to help with this... Given the boy was a wee lad when I got him addicted to the Fulham way.
Burt,
I can't do the walk but if you PM me a Paypal address I'll send some money
Good Luck my thoughts are with you.
Sorry, I don't do 'prayers'
Got an update today that Burt and his team reached their goal! Congrats Burt and team :group hug:

Thanks Roger, much appreciated. I don't want to handle any of the money myself, so if you could use the following link to make a one-off donation to the Marsden then that would be as fabulous as Ivor's goal v. Chesterfield:

Very happy, and very grateful to all of you who have chipped in to help me achieve the target. Fulham supporters - one of a kind :)
Unbeknown to me my darling daughter went on to our page and increased the target as she has also been doing things at her school so if you get another update towards the day of the march saying that we have reached our goal then that is the reason why!
I've got to say the club have been tremendous - there was a tweet from the club a couple of days ago and there will also be a mention of this in Tuesday's matchday program. A MASSIVE thanks to Sarah Brookes for arranging all of that.
And hats off to my employer as well, all this coincided with a vote at work on who we will be having as our designated charity of the year and my nomination won. The good thing is that the company will match employee donations for one of the events that we will be doing during the course of 2017.
Again, thanks to everyone, my boy has actually been quite moved by it all in his own unique teenager kind of way :)

Congrats Burt, excellent to hear!
Only a month to go now until the Marsden March.
Time to get some training in!!
Thanks once again for all the donations to date. We have nearly hit the £1,200 mark, which is amazing :wine:
It's never too late to help out:

Well done, and all the best Burt, and to your boy.
Good luck with the march.
