The 1PW Crew visit Alder Hey Hospital (29th May 2010)





1PW Fan - Matthew 'Mattitude' McGhee



Why Are You Doing The Sutton Run?:
Suppose the main reason for doing this run is I see it as the final chapter of my current Journey. Because about a year ago a friend came ill through his weight and really decided enough was enough so I did what most men would shy away from and joined 'SLIMMING WORLD' At the beginning of the year i was 17st 2lb and now I'm 13st 7lb - I'm quite fit now and see this as a way of proving 'how fit am I?'
Here's the website for more information about the run

The money raised from the sponsorship will be donated to Macmillan Nurses & Walsall Manor ITU/ICU. Even if you haven't had contact with Cancer I can guarantee you somebody that you know has and to me when you donate your not just helping one person your helping every from patients to families. The other Charity is Walsall Manor ITU/ICU - this is because when my sister Natalie gave birth to my gorgeous Niece Nadine she got struck down with swine flu & pneumonia at the same time and was in Intensive care for 2 weeks away from her baby. The staff there worked night and day to make her better to see Nadine again and for that I thank them from my heart.
So this race is for not just my friends, family or myself its for everyone who has lost or has had help from people that never ask for anything but always keep giving.
The Walsall Manor donations & sponsorship only accept cheques directly so I'll donate to them in person through 1PW and myself.
