Members and associates of York Hearts ran 10 kilometers yesterday to raise money for cancer research. Doesn,t sound much you might be thinking to yourselves but when you think of the amount of alchohol and curry,s consumed by most of them and that very few run anywhere other than to the pub when it,s raining, it was a HUGE achievement by them all.
First passed the post "out for a wee jog" after running last weekends Great North Run, was Liz Simpson, followed by Alex "Bedo" Beddingham a short distance back. Another 50 yards back to the first of the "Old Gits" with Rich "Arsey" Johnson and Brian "Ibby" Dall taking the over 40,s title together. Next over the finnish line was, HQ, sorry White Horse Landlord Dan "Late Taste" Murphy, followed by Steve "Stampy" Carroll, Gav "Ghandi" Anderson, Ian " Badger" Warner, Kev "Batman" Jones and Rachel Harvey who all finnished in a very creditable "Less Than An Hour" Barclay "Dont F... With Me" Ong on his 20th birthday and with NO training at all was next with Jill "Alan Hansen" Anderson, Nick "Nick, Nick" Nicholson doing a storming 1hour 15 minute with a broken coller bone, and finally Kathryn Simpson who came home to rapturous applause from the York Jambos.
A very big hand to all of you for training so hard and putting in such an effort on Sunday. It was a BITCH of a course and you should all pat yourselves on the back (if you dont ache too much) for what we all achieved .
YHFC expect to reach around £2500.00 in sponsorship from the event and would like to thank everyone who contributed. Big thanks to Brigantes, The White Horse and Leeds Brewery for their support.
Everyone piled back to The Horse for food (thanks again Dan and Rachel) and the odd beer or 11.!!!! Oh and then we hit Bombay Spice for a well deserved curry and a few more beers.!! What the hell "WE DESERVED IT"
