Bcfc3660 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Well done to you. In 2003 I did the London marathon. Couldn't be doing that everyday. What your doing is a huge achievment, us mere humans wouldn't entertain the idea of what you are doing. Huge pat on the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Got this update from Tim yesterday evening: 'Day 6. Hardest day of them all today. Went from Tedburn St Mary across Datrmoor to Princetown. Over 20 miles. Had to tackle some massive hills that were a real challenge. 18 miles to the finish and arrival at Home Park. Really proud of myself today. Come on you Reds' Well done Tim. There's one way you can really show your support for what he is doing, and for Help For Heroes, and that's by going here now and making a donation, no matter how small: http://www.justgiving.com/Tim-Duane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I can add the final part of Badger watch!! I did laugh when Simon text me saying he was making this thread. Well what can I say? I'm now back in Bristol after undertaking the hardest task of my life. I left Ashton Gate on Sunday the 7th of March, and I've got to say everyone was very nice who walked past after the Doncaster game. The first day saw me running from Ashton Gate to Cheddar which was pretty easy!! But from the 2nd day onwards it was so tough getting the legs going after resting them. They just wouldn't move, even after stopping for a few minutes to refuel. On the 2nd day I sustained pretty bad ligament damage on the Bridgewater to Taunton canel, but I had to finish this run/hobble if it killed me. I won't bore you too much with the rest of the journey, but I arrived at Home Park yesterday at 4:45pm. I'll add some pictures if any of you are interested? I have met some pretty supportive people along the way and even got clapped in by some Argyle fans..... random people were giving lots of money during the way. I also wanted to say a big thank you to David Lloyd and Adman Baker at Bristol City football club, they have been amazing during this run and very supportive. Again thank you for the posts of support. I'm off to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
