I'd like to say a massive thank you to Beth Marr and all at the fantastic A3 Sports in Liphook. Beth was the first to respond to my appeal for sports apparel/donations and immediately set about making a set of t-shirts advertising the "100 runs challenge" with the JDRF logo on both front and back.
These had been sent over a month ago, but didn't reach me. I phoned Beth at the shop yesterday to let her know that the business had been given a plug in the article that appeared in Running Fitness magazine. When I explained I hadn't received them, she promised to send me a couple in the post. That she did. They (five t-shirts) arrived this morning by special delivery and I'm really grateful to Beth for this. Where many multi-national sports chains either didn't reply or said "no", the small Independent store in the village where I grew up decided my challenge was worth supporting.
Frank, Gaz and I will each wear one tomorrow at the Tameside 10K.
