Just checked in to see how our Tracey's fundraising was doing - great to see she has already smashed her target.
I didn't look through all of them, but did notice very generous donations from Gary Jay and the Charlton Museum. And one by someone called Chris Powell
Such an amazing cause! My dad was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent surgery to have his prostate removed yesterday. I reached out to the club and can’t speak highly enough of everyone I spoke to - special mention to Isabelle who reached out to Tracey who organised a video from the gaffer wishing my dad well. We have some very special people at this football club of ours!
Did my furthest training run of 6 Miles this morning in Birmingham! Wasn’t intentional 🤣 just went with Adam Coe who thought I could do it. Wow it was certainly hard! Thank you again for all your very kind donations x
Thank you so much! Surgery was a success but there’s a long road ahead. He’s been going down the Valley for 63 years and he’s hell bent on getting back down there before the end of the season. Priorities and all that 😂

Hope his operation went well and glad your Dad loved the video message from Nathan. x

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last year and had mine removed in May 24, 9 months into recovery and things are going well. If dad or yourself wants to talk to another “bloke” rather than a nurse about anything I would be happy to help. Wishing dad a speedy recovery 👍🏻
As with last year, to make things a bit more interesting, I'm in for £1 for:
every point the 1st team get
every goal they score
plus an extra £1 if any of the academy graduates score
every clean sheet we keep
from today, up to and including the PSA testing day on March 29th. Given there are quite a few games in this period, and the current run of form we're on, I'm anticipating it being rather more expensive than last season, so it's a good job @Henry Irving posted this today rather than yesterday, or it'd have cost me another fiver
Well, that was a not especially auspicious fund-raising start for me - hopefully Exeter next weekend will yield a better return. But just for completeness:
Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0
Well that's more like it! Yesterday proved pleasingly expensive with 3 points for the win, 3 goals including 1 each for Tyreece Campbell and Miles Leaburn, and a clean sheet, so the running total is £9 Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals, + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9
Seeing as Tracey's blown through her own fundraising target thanks to some very generous donations, she's agreed that I can make my donation to Charlotte Richardson's efforts for the cause instead. If any of you would like to join me, her page is here: https://app.goodhub.com/runcharrun
I do like NJ's seriousness...he just about managed a smile in the training video
It was last week before the Orient game. So I’m lucky we managed to do it but all focus was on the upcoming game. As my serious sprints should show you 🤣 Still feeling it a week later! Nathan doesn’t usually do the warm-up but came out to show his support ❤️
Loving that video of Tracey at training, especially the comment about having studs on is like wearing 9 pairs of stillettos. I also reckon having Nathan running after you is probably good incentive not to slow down
Latest sponsorship tally after Saturday is £14, which nearly covers the contribution for one place on the testing day, and we've got another game tomorrow. Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals, + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9 Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5

Good luck Tracey!
Will you be able to increase the numbers if you exceed the target figure?
What would happen if they change kick off time

Go get it Tracey!
