Chris phillips' non league marathon

[ChrisP1982]

To Shrimperzoners,

It's Chris Phillips here from the Echo, on the scrounge I'm afraid.

In April I will be running more than 30 miles to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund in memory of my former colleague at the paper Dick Marshall who sadly passed away last June.

My run will start at Billericay Town FC before going on to Concord Rangers and Canvey Island before finishing at Great Wakering Rovers.

These were all clubs that Dick covered during his long association with the Echo.

I have set up a justgiving page to make donating to the charity easier and hope people on here will be able to help me make as much money as possible.

Hope you don't mind me posting on here,

Chris

Absolutely superb cause. I'd wager most of us on here probably know or know of someone personally who has suffered from this terrible illness. My aunt died of it last year so I know just how it affects people's lives.

Will donate when I get a chance. Best of luck with the run. Rather you than me! :clap:

Done Chris. Good luck.

Great cause and really well thought out challenge!
Are you running with anyone else or on your own?

I have great news for Chris, I've spoken to Barry and he's agreed to run it with him and keep him motivated by talking non stop.

 

[ChrisP1982]

Haha, well I'll run it much faster if I'm with Barry!
And I think I'm doing the run mostly on my own but have people cycling alongside me (mainly for directions!).
Some of Dick's family may be joining me for parts of the route as well.
Thank you so much for the sponsorship too. I really appreciate it.

Count me in too. Good cause.

This is on Saturday and it would be great if anyone else would be able to sponsor me.

Thanks again for your support,

Chris
