    Well, even more trusting than that, just donate some of your money.

    On the road to recovery, now, and with the walking stick seeing less and less use, it’s time to start raising some cash. I have signed up for the relatively easy (to me in years gone by) Northern Rock Cyclone, there will be C2C’s, Great North runs, but in essence, stuff we all enjoy doing.

    So why sponsor/donate? I agree, my first challange may be nowt to most, if not all of us, however, it’s huge to me now, and also, Guillain Barre, it’s all I have gone on about for the last few months, but trust me, it’s horrendous, and there’s not only me on this forum that has suffered from it, so please, do consider giving us a couple of quid.

    Go on, go on, go on.

    How would some items you could raffle suit you? Or a pile of nutrition stuff like clif and torq?

    Raffle type stuff would be wonderful. We would really appreciate that.

    I’d rather buy our own Nutrition stuff as I don’t really feel comfortable getting things for myself out of it. Same as my GBS Support Network expensess sheet, I can’t see me claiming petrol money back off them!

    No worries Paul.

    I think you may have confused me with someone else mate – Lol – I’ve never had a Scandal (yet) I’ve got a Rocky Mountain FS & a Stumpy HT.

    I hope you get back on the bike again soon.

    Ah, I thought I sold you a Scandal a few year back,

    I know that you did sponsor me 18 months ago for Cancer Research though.

    Sorry Paul it must have been another crispybacon (the lucky git) 😉

    Yes I did sponsor you for Cancer Research as I’m currently in remission myself, in fact I had my latest 3 monthly check up on Wednesday & all is well 😀
