Well the day of reckoning is fast approaching heading down to Birmingham today ready for the race in the morning, i would like to again thank everyone who has taken an interest in my cause, I am totally unprepared due to Luke being in hospital all month, although good news we did finally get him out earlier this week, but i am determined to finish it regardless of what the race throws my way.

Many thanks to everyone not often I am lost for words but the donations offered by RL fans have contributed to well over an £2000 contribution to the Childhood Liver Disease Foundation and hopefully as well as raising money has also raised some awareness too, and for that I am truly humbled.

Many thanks

Jonh.

Glad he is home at last, hope he is doing well. Good luck x

Good luck Jonh. I'm sure you'll be up to the challenge. Great to hear that Luke is back home.
Please post some photos, we all need cheering up.



See you soon.

But not of you wearing your mankini!!

Thanks again all, photo's to follow when i work out how to add them on here.

Without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life, came close to breakdown crossing the line.

Box ticked....never again.

Thanks all.

Jonh

Well done pal.

Good to see you came back in one piece.

And in a one-piece!

Well done.. Serious case of satisfaction crossing that line for sure

Flamin hell Jon, the race was yesterday?! Is it even safe to do something like that in those conditions? Hope it went OK and you're a lot warmer now.

Congrats to you anyway even though I question your sanity.


Best wishes to your son.

how do i upload photo's?

I also have a video lasting 6 seconds of me after the race, kind of sums up exactly how it was.

Well done Jon





You have my total respect, best wishes to you and your family.

A colleague of mine did Tough Guy yesterday, said it was the hardest thing he'd ever done and thought of giving up many times he was that cold..!

And as for the guy dressed as Robocop (mentioned in the article) he broke his leg after about 2 miles......whimp!

Well done jonh but I think I may have nightmares for a month after seeing that first picture.



All the best to the little one.
