White heads for Chicago

Adrian White is following up last year's New York marathon by entering the Chicago Marathon on October 12 where he will be running to raise money for Leukaemia Research.

Please support him by checking on his Just Giving website.

The best comes last. "As an added incentive, if I make my fund raising target I will run the Great South Run on October 26 dressed up as Elvis ... proof will be posted on this site and maybe even covered on Channel 5 who are covering the race .... so go on dig deep.

Adrian White and the New York Marathon

Those familiar with Adrian White’s speed for the 4th XI will be amazed to learn he runs in this weekend’s New York London Marathon. As at October 31 he had raised £1,818.77 for Leukaemia Research and if you want to add to the pot, click here to make an online donation.

”I have been absolutely overwhelmed by people's generosity and certainly have every incentive to get the job done,” he said. “For those of you who are not quite as mad as me and who will be taking it a little easier on Sunday - you can watch the race on Eurosport at 2.15pm.”
