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
Mate, you're a monster!
Bumping and hitting the justgiving page.
All the best with the ride!

Nutter. 😀
f'gawds sake man!
I can't not contribute to that.
Bugger off mark, with your noble acts of bravery whilst battling life threatening illness. You're making us all look bad! 😉
Chateau. Donation in
You sir are an absolute legend of a man. If only there were more like you.
Latissimus Dorsi

Jeez...!
Good luck with all that, man.
Good luck with everything. Donation in.
INSPIRATIONAL
Holy crap Bullheart 😯 good luck with that op, will give a little more.
Done.
All the best for the ride! It sounds like it will be no mean feat.
Sponsored. Very best of luck.
Donated.
In an attempt to make my donation worthy of your efforts, I repeatedly stabbed myself in the leg with a compass whilst making it.
Gaun yirsel BH!
I did the LM this year for the CF Trust, and that, coupled with you amazingness, compels me to contribute!

Thanks for all the generous support guys; it really means a lot.
Have to bump this. I'm totally in awe.
bump.
Done and bump.
Rich.
Donated, but for christs sake man get some rest and take it easy (because your making me feel lazy) 😳
Cracking effort that man. Donation in.
Donated!
done
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.)
Donated, wishing you- 'not another camelback/chemo' 😀
Donated. Best of luck. Never less than completely inspirational....
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.
Done. Quite humbled, I'll stop whinging generally now.
How can anyone read this and not donate. Your a top bloke, good luck with everything.
Done. Top bloke.
Highlights my lame excuses....
Donated
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.
Done.
I have every confidence that you'll kick it's nuts in.
I'm bumping this just because.
Donated
I'm bumping this just because.
Thank God you did. Donated.
By way of adding to the continuous bumps...
nemesis - MemberChateau. Donation in nemesis - Member
I think you meant 'chapeau'. Unless there is something about a castle that is relevant to bullheart's charity.
Bump because I got an email saying it's tomorrow
Good luck for tomorrow!
Donated. Your determination, grit and down right obstinate mindset are amazing. Do you have Yorkshire blood? 😉
As he has been to busy to update I will update this to confirm that he did indeed attend and he did indeed complete as I had the great pleasure to cross the line with him
Well done Sir
Kudos
Fantastic! Cheers Junkyard 🙂
Missed this first time round. Donated! Truly humbled by your determination and fight. Said it before many times.... You are are a truly f'ing awesome human and believe it or not I think about you pretty much daily even though I have no idea who youyou are.
Heartfelt congratulations Bullheart; hope it's not taken too much of a toll on you.
Promise kept & humble donation doubled.
