Well the Wife hoped we would get £500, I hoped for a thousand but to date the total stands at over the £1500 mark(although the website does not reflect a further £200 that is to be added) much of which has come from the rugby league community, it is mind blowing!

Unfortunately Luke has been in hospital since the 27th December and to be honest it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs and once again everyone caring for him and us as well has been amassing. Which makes me all the more determined to finish this thing regardless of the conditions.

An aside to this is that between work and the hospital I have no time to train and am probably going into this in the worst condition I have been in, in years, so it really is going to be a massive challenge, just in case it temps anyone else to chuck in a few quid or wish to look in to signing up for a donor card.

Thanks again.

Jonh

I contacted the Children's Liver Disease Foundation the other day about sending a donation to jonh's fundraising efforts by mail. If, like me, you prefer this method to online donations, the address you need is 36 Great Charles Street Birmingham B3 3JY Cheques need to be made payable to CLDF or Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. You can enclose a cover letter stating that the donation is towards sponsorship of Jonathan Haran, and also request a gift aid declaration that allows the charity to reclaim the tax you paid on the money you donated. (You can request the gift aid declaration via email: info@childliverdisease.org)

It's the least I can do. I'm sure you have the respect and admiration of everyone on here for your efforts, and I hope you raise loads of cash for a very worthy cause (although I still reserve the right to call you a plonker when you deserve it

).

All the best to you and your family, and big respect for what you're doing, not only for your lad but for all the other little kids out there suffering from the same disease.

I'll send a letter/cheque off this weekend when I get the time.

Good luck!

Oh yes thats a given.

Best of luck Jonh.

if the weather is going to be as bad as we have it now I wouldn't hold it against you if you had to wear a shirt and shorts

Keeping this afloat.
I wouldn't hold it against you doing it in a 4WD.



Seriously, all the very best for the run/swim/yomp.


And obviously best wishes to your family.

Well another milestone has fallen even without the £200 to be added we have now raised over £1500 fantastic and thanks for all the support.

Luke is doing it tough at the moment (although you would not think it to talk to him! I guess at 3 he is the only person that is not worried by what is going on!) and everyone looking after him has been fantastic, it warms my heart to be able to give something back with the help of everyone who has donated and taken an interest.

Many thanks again.

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.

good luck and we don't want any pics of the event

Oh yes we do.

Deeply troubled!!!!

Good luck John! I'm very pleased for you that you've managed to meet your fundraising target. That's a great effort on your part. Well done mate!

Well, he did it and lived to tell the tale! Well done Jonny!!!!!!

well done jonh, you deserve a pint or two

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 fella.

I'm really proud to call you a friend.

Cheers Brian that means a lot.

Bloody well done mate! You've done something that really means something and you went through hell to achieve it. That deserves so much respect.

Very well done indeed, a great achievement.


Best wishes to you all.

Might be a godsend

but I have 'Access denied'.

OOPS! never saw the bottom bit





You =#FF0000had my utmost respect doing this.

Them pictures have just trebled that.

Not many people would take this on, fair play to you jonh.

I will shut up about it now, think its been milked enough now, but i would just like to finally say a massive thanks to all that donated and took an interest. The Yorkshire Evening Post are doing a follow up story so look out for that if you are a regular reader.

I have to say the well wishes of everyone and the donations from the RLfans network really did inspire me to press on when i had some moments when i simply thought i could not do it, so thanks again one and all.

Jonh, Lukeh and family.

Milk it for all its worth, i do.
