The Marathon..done

0 Comments | This entry was posted on Apr 26 2010

We are pleased to report that Duff conquered the 26 miles in style and came in yesterday at a perfectly respectable 4hrs 35 min’ ish (we have shaved off 10 minutes queuing for the loo!)  Not bad for a Fat Dad – his words not ours.  So far he has raised  a huge £5,950 !!  Definitely not bad for a ‘ Not So Fat Dad Now’ don’t you think?    Thank you so, so much to all of you who sponsored him.  We are over the moon.

Duff running for Fred – on his way!

As I write, our hero Duff  is pounding the streets of London for 26 miles! Thank goodness the weather has turned a little cooler for him. He was very nervous – understandably. I will report on his finish time soon I hope!

Remember you can still sponsor him at

Marathon Man – The FINAL Push

It’s less than a week to go to the big day and already a great many of you have been fantastically generous
in sponsoring Duff’s London Marathon attempt for The Fred Foundation.  Thank you all very much!  He set himself a
tough sponsorship target and he’s now within touching distance – but needs a final push!  
 
If you’ve donated already then please ignore this – if you haven’t and would like to, then please go to
www.justgiving.com/Duff-Borer - a reminder about why the work that The Fred Foundation is so important
can be found at www.thefredfoundation.org
 
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who has been so generous so far.

MARATHON MAN

0 Comments | This entry was posted on Mar 13 2010
As some of you already know, back in October Duff  Borer rather recklessly agreed to run this year’s London Marathon on behalf of The Fred Foundation.  With things reasonably on track after a winter of training discontent and many, many (with more to come) circuits of Regents Park, the time has now come to realise the most important aspect – raising money for the charity.  
So now we are asking if you will sponsor him.  You can donate through his Just Giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/Duff-Borer  He is aiming for £5k so if you can dig deep that would be great – every little bit helps.

Thank you so very much.

IMG_0138Susan Newell treated a select band of Fred’s friends to a wonderful tour of the V&A’s ceramics galleries, today. Most went on to have lunch on some very ordinary white plates! How disappointing.
