Might be easier said than done!!!

having done Wakey to Hudds walks looking at a 150 mile walk isn't something to be sniffed at so take it that you are both capable of doing the distance,
the distance we did was around 15 mile on the day and still ended up with blisters so I would take care in your preparations and would like to wish you good travels if you get the go ahead, I wouldn't like to think that I was doing it

Absolutely brilliant idea,definitely get sponsor forms out, the sky's the limit (no pun intended)

As I've just said on twitter, what a time for my internet to go. Yes there's Wifi but that would have involved the joys of Whitley Bay on a bank Holiday. No thanks.

Yeah Bets 'y' Bulls, bank account a great idea but we need to hear from the club. Snowie, we know there will be blisters, we also know what is at stake. Hello blisters.

Repeated for effect- if there aren't 100,000 people who think a lad with Downs Syndrome doing this to save his club then we should all give up. Not on the Bulls but on life.

Wish me luck as I venture this onto Southstander.....

I'm actually in shock, the Rhinos have been in touch, they're looking to send players with us as we go round Leeds. As I said, this isn't about "my clubs better than yours" or righting wrongs. I'll care about who got us into this mess after James has got the club out of it.

Route getting planned later.

Bulls (finally) got in touch. Those who wish to could do us a massive favour and let them know how big this has become. They should throw their resources at us because we know done correctly this could raise the full amount. They know us from the 100 rounds so they know how capable and determined we are to do this.

Speaking of the 100 rounds, would a Team Olsen v The Bulls players interest anyone, in the summer perhaps? Don't worry James will take it easy on them

Bump.

Well done them.

If the bulls have said next half million in next 10-12 weeks then you have more time to plan/advertise/get sponsorship etc

Yeah saw that Leedsbull and it means.....we can move the date back a little. May 19-26 with James finishing at Odsal than going by car to the magic weekend to watch us play his new friends at Leeds.

Hi Toonbull
Please will you contact Sarah at the Bulls, on the phone number that she's emailed you with, to talk about the practicalities of the walk.

Can you make one of those shirts in Blue and Amber ?

Just lifting the profile of this thread. It doesn't deserve to be slipping down the page.

Aye.

Many thanks for the sticky. Things shaping up pretty well overwealmed at the help we're getting as Lord Knows we wouldn't have been able to set it all up ourselves.

Theres a whole load going on behind the scenes with this, for now though I think James is overcome by the support the lad is recieving. Our Rhinos friend is just checking he can do it on the dates I've given, if a Rhinos supporter can put club loyalty aside to this extent than no-one has that excuse for this.

This site has offered some amazing help, I think it's best we'll reveal what as and when it happened.

And Please keep the suggestions coming, thrilled to log on to a considerable number of PMs this morning. I am listening and so is the club.

Andy

Guess what . I have got the time booked off work .
As Toonbull is already aware , It means I am going to miss my son's birthday . I will also miss a mate's 60th party in Pudsey on the 19th .
Ahh well . The missus thinks it is a good idea , and I for one ain't gonna argue with her .

She will have to do the washing-up herself for a few days though .

My son wanted to do a bit of the walk as we pass through Leeds . Unfortunately he won't be able to as he was hit by a car today . He was very lucky in that he wasn't severely injured , the worst injury is a broken ankle .

So . Can anyone out there loan me a wheelchair for an hour or so one day next month so I can push him for the bit he was going to be walking ?

Rick

If someone chips in with wheelchair I'll push for an hour!.

Best wishes to your lad hope he's ok

Carl is in hospital tonight . They are going to have a look in the morning to decide wether or not his ankle needs wiring back together . Apparently they think that as the driver braked it skidded along with one of the front wheels locked up on his leg . Some quite bad abrasive injuries , but hopefully no major lasting damage .They said that the broken bits are on a 'growth plate' whatever one of them is .
Witnesses say he got up and ran away . He said he did so because he didn't want the car to get his other foot . In a way he was kind of lucky that the car drove over his leg . Injuries could have been much worse if it had just hit him and he had been bounced down the road .

Thanks mat . Wil pass on your best wishes in the morning when I see him .

Just heard that Carl (age 7) was only on the top street because he had taken his 5yr old sister to see if they could find out where her bike is as it has been nicked out of the garden . One or two of the walkers from Headingley to Odsal last Friday met Carl and Ellie when we stopped for refreshments at the Jug and Barrell . They were the kids that were shouting 'Who are ya?' when Mrs BR delivered my hat .

Best wishes to the young fella

Yeah one and all send our best wishes to the lad, horrible news. Im sure most Bulls fans know excactly who Im approaching RE:The wheelchair and if you do you'll know why Im so confident we'll get him sorted.

Andy

Im sure mr or mrs johnson will have one.

Great minds think alike my friend...

I've been delighted by how well a lot of my appeals have been recieved, so I'll make a somewhat heartfelt one. Could any Bulls fans with access to transport (we're not asking you to walk) come see James off from Whitley Bay town centre on May 19? sounds a huge ask I know but when we know what James and indeed BaldRick are doing I'm not sure it is. When we get to West Yorks we know the support will come flooding in. For now though we need to make this as big as possible, in an area where very few even know who we are.

Cheers,
Andy
