I don't know if this has been posted before or if it is allowed but many of you I am sure will remember Glyn Price (El Huracán!!!!) who was a great contributor to this board. Sadly Glyn passed away in 2022 from Bowel Cancer and in his memory his brother Mike is running the London Marathon on April 21st in aid of Bowel Cancer UK. If you can spare a few bob to add to his already fantastic amount raised please have a look at his Just Giving Page. In Memory of El Huracán!!!!Thanks for reading this and if it is not allowed Pilch please feel free to delete it.

Pleased to help. Glyn and I were both diagnosed with cancer at the same time. I was desperate to help him, but I couldn't.

Pilch, feel free to delete the opening post if you want to be pilloried I'm sure you won't. I would urge everyone to take the test if offered. Mine's on the way, (wish the NHS wouldn't waste a letter telling me my test kit will be sent in the next couple of weeks).

Yes, take a screening test if you are offered it, it’s not as bad as you might imagine!

I wonder how many of the posters accually know you in the flesh? I do, and find you very enjoyable company. We spent a lot of time chatting when we were up in Edinburgh when you had the immense pleasure of watching The Blue Brazil. The last time I saw you was at Severn Hospice. I think you thought my number was up, probably because of the sandwich board with, "the end is nigh", written on it which I was carrying around with me. Accually, my number isn't up at all. I'm to be back in the pub soon, so minor can buy me a pint. If I bump into you in a social gathering, Pilch, I must remember to buy you a half of shandy. But my memory isn't so good these these days.......

Great effort both in completing the marathon and being very close to the £6k mark raised.
