I’m sorry to those who don’t agree that this is the right forum but I know that some of you knew 29erKeith (whether in person or virtually on here) before his passing of cancer aged 35 last year. He fought like a total hero.

I freely admit that I’m trying to find some closure in this but I’m also trying to raising some money for Bloodwise (his favourite charity) along the way.

I’d be hugely grateful to anyone on here who can spare 30 seconds to read my story. And if you happen to have a spare fiver, well this is as good a home as any:

Done mate. I didn’t know the guy at all but bloodwise is close to my heart as my old bosses son had leukaemia for something like 4 of his 8 first years of his life before getting the all clear.

I lost my best mate last year to a heart condition so I’m doing a charity ride for the BHF, like you to get closure and just to feel like I’m at least doing something to help. My ride is less extreme than yours though.

Good luck with this.

Done good luck with your fund raising

Thank you, I can’t express how much it means to me.

Let me know how I can return the favour.

Thanks Postie, thank you.

Done

Done- and good job, it’s so hard to bring some good from a shit situation.

Thanks Bregante, really appreciated

Thank you Northwind. Really been at a loss for months but the training for this is helping.

Done and I hope you get the level of support your efforts deserve.
If this helps bring closure or takes you closer to it that would be good.

Done,good luck dude.

Done, my sons mate going through it at the mo. He’s only twelve.

Done. Best of luck.

6am. You’ll be up for training now then?

Event sounds like hell, good luck, donated.

Done. Good luck!

Done. My mums got leukaemia. Keep us updated on the training.

Done. Sounds like one heck of an event but it’ll be worth it. A close friend has been through the mill with lymphoma so I know how tough it can be. Good luck with it all!

Done.
Good luck. 🙂

Reminded me that I had not donated all my xmas money – so that my christmas lunch you just got! Keep make sure you report back on your efforts

Nice one

I have just checked in on my page after a hard running session this morning and I am absolutely blown away by your kind words and generosity. The kindness of strangers and all that. It’s still a decent World.

And everyone who’s donated anonymously so far or just took 10 seconds to look at my page and pause for thought, you’re all special people. Thank you.

STW is a proper decent place!

Done

Done. Good Luck!

good luck mate. done

Done, Keith was a pleasure to know and a sadness to lose. I hope his family are doing as best they can.

Good luck Nathan, a great cause

I gave myself four months starting last night to hit my sponsorship target, thinking if I worked really hard at it I might just get there. Thanks to the most amazing generosity of people on here I’m going to be close to getting there inside 24 hours. That would be amazing and would mean I can do more. Cancer doesn’t respect limits.

If you can, please help me do this.

Donated. Had a few posts on here with Keith when I was going though Prostate Cancer treatment and always found him inspiring….

Happy to donate to a great cause to hopefully beat Cancer 🙂

CB 7 years in remission

Works both ways, we need updates and photos of just how hard the training is… 😉

Done, best of luck, have lost a lot of family members due to various cancers, a truly worthy cause 🙂

Done, smash it.

Picton don’t worry I’ll make sure you don’t forget about me over the next few months 😉

Last time I did a road marathon I couldn’t walk for 2 weeks and I have to do one in April as a “training run”. That’ll be fun.

They’ll be video updates from throughout the day as well. 4am start, finish cut-off at midnight

Done.. All the best mucker

Donated – I have had a few similar sad stories recently, so it’s good to see something positive. Best of luck with the event.

Done. close to my heart this one

35? Bloody hell 🙁

Done.

You’ve picked one heck of an event OP, it’s going to be tough.

btw…time to set a new target 🙂

Donated …

Best of luck … keep us all up to date on how it’s going .

You lot are all absolutely amazing

Done.

My 5 year old is into his final year of treatment for leukaemia so know how invaluable all the cancer charities are. Best wishes and good luck.

Bump.
