Just over a month to go to the Great North Run

Hope Bill's sleep experiment doesn't interfere with his running practice and fund raising.

Wow! Despite getting only 3 hours sleep a day for the last 10 days, Bill still kept up his training for The Great North Run.

Hopefully he nearly has all the money in.

It just shows how fit and determined he is to keep up his training whilst doing the sleep experiment

Having said that we all know he's fit

With him having a bad back this week, here's hoping that Bill will be ok to do his half marathon

The very best of luck Bill.

Won't be able to watch live but will later if timer works.

I'll be cheering you on nonetheless.

Sorry Bill

I won’t be around for a while, so will miss your run.

Know you will do your best and I wish you good luck

Go Billy Go

Have just donated - only just got back online having seen Bill on TV on Sunday. Great job Bill, but come on forumites, he's still below his target - anyone who hasn't already given there's still time (and don't forget to Gift Aid it)!

Bill doesn't need to wear sequins on his shorts; some of us are just happy that he wears them occasionally

It's that yellow t- shirt that I don't like.

Yellow is not his colour- please take note Marie Curie.

Perhaps a modified cha cha cha outfit next time.
