Tupper’s total!

As you may know my friend Dave Johnson, AKA Alf Tupper recently tan the London Marathon, despite a knee injury; he did it as most runners do, to try to beat his previous best time, to enjoy the spirit and camaraderie of the run, and the fun of the huge event, but also to try and raise money through sponsorship for two very deserving charities. He has run the London marathon before a couple of times and raised thousands of pounds for good causes. This year he chose to support MIND, which helps people with mental health issues, and Weston Hospicecare, a local hospice for people in the last stages of their lives.

Here is final report:

Hello there!
Tupper here, or perhaps I should change my name to Alf Banksy! Yes, as you can see from the attached photo, I’ve been out on the prowl late at night indulging in a bit of anti-social behaviour. Well, he deserves it doesn’t he? Call yerself an Olympian and a Tour winner Wiggo? A knee injury didn’t stop Tupper running 26.2 miles. Shame on you!
Anyway, enough of that! The real reason I am emailing you all yet again is to proudly announce that you raised between you a magnificent £820.00 for Weston Hospicecare and £806.17 for Mind. That’s a total of £1626.17 which is a fantastic achievement. Thank you to each and every one of you who were kind enough to donate. I probably drove you all mad with my emails but I hope you will agree that the outcome was worth it.
This will be my final update other than to email copies of any certificates or acknowledgements I may receive from the charities concerned.
Thank you once again for your wonderful generosity.
All the best
Alf
Alf/Dave’s target had been £500 for each charity, so to top that so splendidly is an amazing achievement. Well done Alf! Well done Dave!
PS: Bradley Wiggins is a British cycling star and Olympic gold medal winnerwho’s recently pulled out of the Tour de France because of a knee injury, his nick-name is Wiggo, and Banksy is a famous graffiti artist
