Hi everyone
It is that time of year again where I try to give back to the British Heart foundation by raising money for them. Thanks to all of you on here last February my 'mankini' stunt raised over £850!! Which was a fantastic effort from everyone involved.
However not to worry about such a 'stunt' this year, the 'mankini' is safely out of the way....forever!!
This year I'm doing something different, I will be walking 7 miles across 'frogett edge' near the peak district to raise funds.
Now 7 miles may not seem a long way, but just over a year ago I couldn't walk 7 yards, and although I have gone back into AF (heart out of rhythm again) I'm determined to complete this, if possible, in around 2 hours, It is across hilly terrain and Mrs RM and few friends (about 6) will be coming with me, I'll also be taking one of my GSD's and a medically trained colleague (just in case).
If you feel you would like to donate then please go to my Just giving page, I hope the link below works.
I will be doing the walk on Saturday 6th February on the 'Wear it Red' day. Obviously I wont be completing the match thread (v's Bristol City), I hope someone can stand in for me.
Again my heartfelt thanks for any donations made, it really does help to save lives.
Thanks for reading and putting up with my yearly begging.
Kind regards
RedM

    Don't mean to be picky but it's 'Froggatt Edge'
    And here's a pic of my much better half hanging off of that very boulder in the background of the above pic. Sorry for being an anorak, lol.

    Thank you @NornIrishAddick

    Later today/tomorrow I will be opening a very short auction for a signed and framed Jason Euell Charlton shirt whcih has kindly been donated by a person who works for the club. The auction will close on Sunday 7th February and the wining bidder will be asked to pay the money direct to my BHF Just Giving account.
    Full details and a picture later. I'm just tying up some final details. Please bid as high as you can, there will be a reserve price place on the item (circa £30). This is an extremely generous donation from the person concerned.
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    Hope you will not mind me giving this one final 'bump'. So far we have raised £420 and it would be good, if possible, to get to £500. The weather for tomorrow is taking a turn for the worse and it appears I'll be walking in heavy rain and strong winds!! Oh well all for a good cause. I'm still going to attempt under 2 hours if possible.....not so sure now I'll do it though!
  • FumbluffFumbluff
    Done :open_mouth:
  • CostaFortuneCostaFortune
    Done and worth another bump.

    Come on help him get to £500

    Good luck Redmidland (Malc)
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    Made it to £485 now, thanks as ever, you lot are just amazing. I've yet to add in the final bid for the shirt yet, which currently stands at £110. Once again I feel humbled by you all. Thank you!!
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    Thanks to someone on here, who will remain anonymous, we have just gone over £500, thank you all so much. Someones life will be saved by your generosity.....over and out!! I'll post some pictures on Sunday just to prove I did it.

    One more picture, me on far right, (as you look at the pic) Mrs RM 3rd from left and my support team. My GSD Cinna in the front, who I must say had a great time as well.

    A great and courageous achievement in your state of health M.

    It puts the spineless efforts of that shower in SE7 firmly in perspective.
