THE EVENTS!
So how the heck are we gonna raise over £12,121.2?!
DEC 2013 - Back in the Ring & Guymey does 'ring-boy'
To
get the Fundraising account off and running, I participated in a
corporate white collar boxing night with Tower Fitness in Norwich.
My good friend Shaun Guymer accepted a challenge that should
I raise over £1,000 before the event he would don some ludicrous
pink shorts and be the 'ring boy' for the girls bout. We both
work at Aviva and within 24 hours of announcing the event the
£1,000 was raised and the picture on the right proves what a good
sport Shaun is, thanks mate!
EVENT DONE! £1100 RAISED

FEB 2014 - Markus goes dry for a whole month!
Another good friend at Aviva, Markus Sullivan, who is a very social chap indeed, is currently enduring the whole month of February on the good ship Tee-Total...it's an amazing feat and we are all very proud of him - I will update with the total when it's in ;)
EVENT DONE! £500 RAISED :)
London Marathon 2014 - Paul Goulsbra
Tall Paul, goes the extra mile (well, 26.2 of them to be precise) for Medical Detection Dogs and the Year of the Dog...
running the Bungay Marathon with Sydney clearly made a good impression and Paul done some last minute fundraising and raised an incredible £500 in just a couple of days
The mans a legend and despite having his nipples rubbed raw at Bungay, he still managed a very respectable time
It's Folk-law for the Goulsbra ;) thanks mate!
SYNDEY THE SEVEN FOOT MED DOG MASCOT
Throughout 2014 I will be running various distances from 5km to 50km dressed in a huge puppy dog outfit, named Sydney (one of my Mum's middle names!). In superstores and Shopping malls, you'll find me pounding the treadmill. I'll be tackling Parkruns and various distances races to give Sydney as much exposure as possible! Sydney is also hoping to take part in the skydive world record attempt!!!
