Great effort to be fair; and would be good if he were to run the last part round teh stadium before taking up his seat - probably alone!

 

[AndyT]

Yep, good for him. Great effort.

Very apt name, as well.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Good luck to the bloke. Hope he gets a round of applause on the day.

 

[Barling Magna]

Tragic story, great courage (and stamina). Good luck to you Tom, and Alfie.

 

[londonblue]

His name is perfect for it as well. Well done Tom Leggett!

 

[callan]

They are normally running away from Roots hall.

Still fair play to the lad, and hope he raises loads of cash.

 

[Ex-Member1]

Tragic story, huge good wishes to all the family. Good luck on the run. Donation made.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Was going to crack a Joke about the Farm hands always running , but after reading the article I say top Man

 

[Cockle43]

Some people will do anything to avoid the rail replacement bus service, won't they? :smiles:

Seriously though, good luck to him. Would like to think we'd allow him a lap of honour and some generous applause for his efforts. :thumbsup:

 

[C C Csiders]

A lap of honour would also lead to extra donations I am sure....

 

[philtalkin]

Just donated. Very sad, can't imagine how terrible this must be for them.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

I've been in contact with him today and am going to run about 9- miles of it with him to keep him company and show some solidarity. He's trying to contact SUFC about a lap of honour but nobody is answering! I wonder if the Shrimpers Trust could raise awareness too?

 

[Ramsdenblue]

Yes, I too would love to see the chap do a lap of honour around all the stands. SUFC is a family club and I would predict that many parents at the game would like to donate on the day.

Snr.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Perhaps he can emulate the Col Ewe team and do a lap for every goal they score on the day.

0 is round, so he can emulate that.....

 

[woodbridge shrimper]

Just donated. Very sad, can't imagine how terrible this must be for them.

Yes great effort if he can do it. Hope the Management at The Hall allow him to do the lap of honour before the match and get some publicity out of it. Surely it would be good to have something in our programme as well in support of the guy and his family to show we are a caring club.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

A lap of honour would also lead to extra donations I am sure....

Southend Fans can chuck coins at him while walking round the pitch collecting , Oops sorry place in the bucket

Tommy has tweeted his thanks to me for raising awareness. Genuine good luck to him.

 

[shrimper-james]

All rivalry aside, that is a very long distance to run in only a few hours and I wish him all the best. For a good cause as well.

 

[Tinks]

Best of luck to him and most definitely he should get applause from us all if he is allowed to finish it off with a lap around the pitch just prior to kick off.
I for one will certainly be applauding

 

[geoffmundo]

Sad story, but brave effort. All decent people will no doubt show respectful support.
