    Hi all
    dropped the
    uksignboards.com shirt off today to Danny Smalldridge, 26 miles to run tomorrow and he was working. He was pleased with the T-shirts and mentioned he liked all of the designs posted. General chat revealed that Danny was still short of is target of what he had wanted to raise for the Neo-natal unit.

    I know that we have had the auctions to help Danny on his way, but felt that as a community that Danny is part of, that there might be a few members who feel as i do and would like to see Danny achieve is target. After all its Danny who’s doing all of the hard work and not for is own gain, all we have to do is reach a little deeper in to our pockets. I am sure Danny will be thrilled with any amount that you can spare small or big.

    So if you feel as i do please list your name an amount on this page and lets all give Danny something to aim for in completing is forthcoming task. (Please remember to honour all amounts that are left on this page) Rob hope this is ok? 😳

    Danny Best of Luck On The Run *bigsmile*
    and put me down for £20.00 inc

    Hi all
    unless Danny as been on the boards tonite, he won’t know about this so we will sort out details of money collection after he’s done the business.
    I’m sure Danny will be chuffed to see such support.

    I’ve been watching the Marathon on the TV for ages, still haven’t spotted Danny. After seeing what he’s doing, in the weather he’s doing it in, I adding another £6 in the pot. Fair play, its only £1 a mile, but he’s out there doing a brilliant job for charity!

    If you’ve not already finished, KEEP GOING DANNY!!!! You’re a star!!! 😀 😀

    Cheers, Dewi

    Well Done Danny!!! 😀 Good on you mate, finished and just in time for the afternoon opening hours down the pub 😉 Lucky I wasn’t running it, I’d be lucky to finish in 24 hours!! 😆 😆

    Hope you reached your target! 😀 I joked earlier to Mrs Dewi that I’d join you next year, she rolled about laughing! I couldn’t cope with a running nose, let alone a running race 😆 😆

    Thanks everyone for your generosity.
    Have just made it up the stairs into the office (not a good idea).
    Had to come to work to keep the wolf from the door! 😀

    As Kevin said i completed the run in 4hrs 53 mins, 23 mins outside the time i was aiming for but the weather didnt help, great shirt felt comfy and kept away the joggers nipple (thats when your nipples bleed from rubbing!)

    It should tka ea few weeks before the photos are through as soon as they are i will sort the nes with Rob.

    And again as Kevin mentioned I though all entries for the shirt design where of a very high standard CHEERS!

    Danny 😉
