Real heroes

Yesterday I received an email from a friend referring to my "heroic efforts" which was appreciated as 10 months of training isn't easy.  However the real heroes are people like my pal Baldie who is going through intensive chemo at the moment - just checked in today for his 3rd bout.  His pals have gone "Kojak" to raise money for the hospital which I think is a shining example but not one I am going to follow.  The local pub, whose profits have plummeted recently, are also collecting for him.  I know Baldie checks the blog daily so if you want to give him some encouragement then feel free to post a comment - "come on baldie" will do fine.
This afternoon he will be getting pampered and watching the tennis followed by the footie followed by the tennis then a massage - no more than he deserves.
Almost forgot, started at 5.30am with a 90 minute cycle which will prepare me for the weekends efforts and Baldies progress will keep me going!
