PDF Run the Gauntlet!

…well almost and thanks to Rikki for allowing me to post this and ask for your sponsorship again :smiley:

The Professional Drivers Foundation is approaching its fourth year and we now have no doubt whatsoever that there is a need for a lorry driver’s charity.

Almost all the funds we have raised have been donated from lorry drivers and their families to help colleagues in need. Last year in particular, we found ourselves in demand more than ever before. This has left our funds extremely low.

In response to our appeal for individuals to raise funds by completing sponsored events, Steve Jackson has stepped forward to quite literally ‘Run the Gauntlet’ for the Professional Drivers Foundation!
Steve Jackson is Brett’s Logistics Planning Manager, and being desk based, is making a super human effort on behalf of the PDF.
Steve used to be a lorry driver many moons ago, and it’s still a vocation dear to his heart.
In view of this he is preparing to step out from behind his desk and hit the road not once, but twice and run TWO Half Marathons for the PDF.
His first challenge will be to complete the Great North Run in September, followed by the infamous Run the Gauntlet event, held in Ireland in November.
Run the Gauntlet is widely acknowledged as Ireland’s toughest half marathon due to the elevation changes on the course through The Gap of Dunloe between the beautiful Lakes of Killarney.

For more information and to encourage Steve to train on a daily basis, please sponsor him and encourage him to make the supreme effort required to complete these two events.

He needs to see his efforts will be worthwhile.
The amount you can afford isn’t important as every little helps to encourage Steve to turn out and train on a daily basis. It is essential for him to see that target rising every cold and dreary day he pounds the local roads in an effort to get super fit.

Remember, every penny goes to support lorry drivers in need of help.

Stop keep sending me test emails and I might consider it

Sorry about that but we’ve had loads of problems with the forum email system…it tells us it hasn’t sent the email, so after a few hours we do it again and then it seems to manage to send all the backlogged ones :blush: :blush:

The webmaster is on to it now so it should be sorted shortly.

It seems choosy who it send it to as well as not everyone is getting them, so it must like you :wink: :smiley:
