I have never been convinced by the the idea of a 'fun' run and still need convincing! The Blue Chairs managed to hitch a ride in the 10k run organised by CureLeukaemia in Sutton Park. Their hosts George Lynch-Staunton and Henry Ebelis thought they would get even more sponsorship dressed in women's clothing - let's skirt round this issue and mention how delighted Iwan Thomas was to meet the Blue Chairs. I think it made his day!
The Chairs approach the finish line courteousy of Henry and George.
There were also a number of other Blue Chair Heroes raising money for Cure Leukaemia and having 'fun' running in the rain. Here are some pictures that illustrate the 'fun' they all had! This is a survivors photo and notice how happy they are to have stopped running.
But maybe they're just relieved after escaping from a dalek!
And first of the Shrewsbury School gang to survive was Tom Crosby who finished in 5th place overall with a time of 36 minutes. Wow! He must have been forced to watch Dr. Who when he was little!
Well done to you all and thanks for raising loads of dosh for a great cause!Over £1000 so far!

You should also know that Duncan Grisedale came 19th. Well done Duncan! (Despite how it looks he did survive!).
