Hello bears,

 

I'm taking part in the Legends Challenge by running 114km in the month of September to raise money for Rangers Charity Foundation and I'd really appreciate your support.

 

The number 114 isn't entirely random as it's the number of appearances Paul Gascoigne made for the club, so he's the legend i've chosen to go with.

 

If anyone can spare a couple of quid (or a couple of dollars, dependent on where you are) then it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Donating to my JustGiving page is easy - just follow this link and click Donate:

 

http://www.justgiving.com/owner-email/pleasesponsor/114km-in-september

 

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Rangers Charity Foundation so it’s a quick and safe way to donate.

 

Thank you,

Craig

Sent him a PM earlier. :thumbup:

Thanks very much for your generous donation. It is very much appreciated.

I'll be kicking off the runs in the next few days which should be automatically pulled through from Strava to JustGiving.

:thumbsup:

@Hoody Thank you for your donation. To be honest, considering the current climate, I was hoping for people to spare £2 here and there at best but donations of £10 are a pleasant surprise. I appreciate the support. :UK:

Thanks a bunch for the donation, mate. It’s much appreciated. I don’t know if you e ever dealt with the Rangers Charity Foundation but it’s a well run organisation that makes a real difference to people’s lives.

I've stuck a fiver in to help you on your way.

That puts your amount raised at £88

Hopefully that number will annoy someone enough for them to top it up by another couple of quid.  :thumbsup:

Thanks a bunch for this mate. I’m at £98 now and on the precipice of my target.

The support I’ve had from this forum has been tremendous. :bow:

Thanks a lot for the donation, mate. Or should I say the second donation :-)

I've updated the target now to the obvious number. I was out running at lunch today and i'm falling behind a bit so i'll need to get out there and get some kilometers in the old legs.

The £5 was from me personally.

The £11 was from these Good Bears...

@crmpicco 

Doing okay? :thumbup:

Getting there, pal. I’ve fallen behind a little bit so I’ll need to line up a couple of 10km in over the next 3 or 4 days to make up the distance. I’ll be doing a run at lunch tomorrow, but it’ll likely be a 5km.

I’ve hit a slump with donations though :innocent:

Looks like you've caught up a bit on the distance, and might just make it by the skin of your teeth.  :kingbilly:

All you need now are a few more donations...

One final bump for this as I have one day remaining to complete this challenge. I’m 15.5km shy of the required distance so any last minute donations to the Rangers Charity Foundation would be well-received and appreciated.


It has really put a rocket up my backside in the last week knowing that a bunch of people have put their hands in their skyrocket to donate and sponsor me.


My plan is to finish with a long run tomorrow after work.
