Hello All,

I'm riding at SSUK up in North Yorkshire at the beginning of September, and am raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust - see the link to the Just Giving page below;

https://www.justgiving.com/thebullheart/

The twist? I'm on my frigging knees from the hardest chemo I've ever had to undertake, and two weeks afterwards I'm having my entire Latissimus Dorsi removed - quite literally I'm finding it hard to get up the stairs at the moment, so it'll be the toughest of tasks. However, I'll be damned if I won't complete the whole bloody thing, because I'm a stubborn arse...

Many thanks, and feel free to pass on the link!

Bullheart

In an attempt to make my donation worthy of your efforts, I repeatedly stabbed myself in the leg with a compass whilst making it.

Thank you to each and every STWer that has generously donated - you are very special folk, and Reuben (my nephew) made a lovely gurgling sound when I told him...

One week to go, and more excitement!

I sit here in Ambulatory Care at UCLH, receiving an emergency blood transfusion due to my 'worryingly low levels' as described by the team, I wanted to thank each and every person that has contributed their hard-earned money to the JustGiving page set up to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

As you will recall, the task is to race at SSUK in two weekends time - described as 'stupid bloody-minded madness' by a passing doctor just fifteen minutes ago (!). Given that the chemo and the transfusion is about to tear me a new arsehole, please feel free to donate any spare pence to the link below. And for those of you that already have, I offer my sincere gratitude and a promise that (despite my medical teams' protestations) I will not expire in the process.

I'm also looking for a number of major sponsors for something that involves a rowing boat, the most hazardous coastline in the world, and a man with a hole in his back where there was a major muscle trying to pull off a near-impossible task...

Cheers folks,

Bullheart

Donated.

I know that everyone in the hospital thinking you're crazy and won't have a chance of finishing it will only help spur you on.

Good luck.

(if it helps, I think you're absolutely mental.)

Excellent effort, truly amazing.

I'd have donated more, but pushed the boat out already this month donating to a close friend that did a skydive to raise money for the charity that looked after her hubby, who got beaten by cancer.

Thinking about it, what I can do is when you complete this obscene effort, I'll double my donation, providing you promise not to get beaten.

I have a image in my head of you chanting 'Never give up' constantly. I tip my flat cap in your direction.

Good luck with the SSUK + treatment + operation.

By way of adding to the continuous bumps...

I think you meant 'chapeau'. Unless there is something about a castle that is relevant to bullheart's charity.

Hello all,

Will do a proper update soon. Drove up to Whitby after work on Friday, took part in race, met Junkyards lovely kids, chatted to Taz and his missus, drove back to Kent and passed out when I got home. Lovely event, great people, humbling support from all you soft buggers, loads of money raised for a worthy course, and....

...a greater belief in myself winning this fight.

(Plus I won a frigging Ti frame in the raffle!! Get in!!)
