70 Wild Miles6th. June 1998 |
For
personal reasons, the organisers decided to focus their efforts entirely
on the Cancer Research Campaign. All the money raised this year which
totalled £22,500
was gratefully received by them and, much to the
surprise of all concerned, was rewarded by the event being awarded the
Campaigns Lillian Board Award for outstanding fundraising
through a sporting endeavour. (Their words, not mine!)
To my mind the most outstanding part of it was that the four reprobates
who made their way to London to receive the award actually made it there
and back without being arrested! See the Trophy
page for photographic evidence. |
