Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Kelly]

After listening to Chappers and Dave talk to Harry from McFly about the upcoming marathon, one of my friends did some digging and found Chappers' fundraising page.

http://www.justgiving.com/chappersrunsthemarathon

Come on, get giving! It's for a good cause, afterall!

*Admin Edit: Please note this link is secure and is a genuine website. The link has been mentioned by Chappers on Radio 1 and is the official way to sponsor Chappers. All proceeds go straight to the charity*

[Jono]

Very good cause and it's a shame he's unable to get support on the show. Must be some sort of restriction from him doing that so soon after Sport Relief.

[Kelly]

Just to clarify, it's a genuine account because Dave, Jayne and Nicole have donated fifty quid.

[sinister]

I already know someone running the marathon and will be donating my hard earned wedge in that direction.

[Jono]

I will probably do it on the day.

[sinister]

I've already said I'd do some pix of my friend running, so I might even get some shots of mark, miserable chorlton & the wheelies dragon face in the process.

[Jono]

I have put a link on the front page. If you've got some spare money donate it to Chopper. Maybe then he'll have something nice to say about us! I will now be putting some forward.

[popbitcher]

aww, "mum and dad" are on the donations list! how sweet

[Jono]

Keep your donations coming in to Chappers with the link above. Chappers has just said we're not bad people and we're not geeks and said something complimentary... well worth donating for!

[popbitcher]

that was quite sweet of him money will be going to his charity within the next 24 hours from me

Good on Chappers, anychance of making this thread a sticky Jono so it doesnt drop off the bottom of the page?

[Jono]

It's on the front of the website, there's no worry really. He's running it on Sunday too, so I don't imagine it'll be off the page by then. Oh, and you can listen back to the mention here.

What's with all the new colours? light green? And light blue for the logo. It doesn't really go with the UM3 Theme as that is more dark blue. An other funny point is that the two pictures of Scott and Chappers, Scott's like 20 times darker, all that fake tan.

Anyway on topic, good luck to him, he's done quite a lot of running these past months.:hahaha:

Thanks Einstein, but is a charity related thread really the place to post that?

[Rudolf]

Thanks Einstein.

I'm not saying theirs anything wrong with them, I just feel, that the previous logo was better, own opinion that's all.

[Jono]

The TV coverage this year has been very shoddy. Can't get a decent picture and they're usually interviewing wacky people dressed up and celebrities. It's just a sport this year. Presumably they can't be arsed with all the rain.

[FreakaZoid101]

Chappers: Radio 1's very own Black Beauty.

He's running Tower Bridge right now.

12 miles in I believe.

[jembie]

I am annoyed too that we can't get to see the normal runners.

Who the hell is interested in the athletes? We are interested in people we know and people we have sponsored.

[Jono]

He mentioned Unofficial Mills (in a kind of code) this morning when talking to Nihal.

[jembie]

YAY now we get to see them

[Jono]

Sue Barker didn't want to get herself wet this year

[FreakaZoid101]

Sue Barker didn't want to get herself wet this year

hehe.

[popbitcher]

i love the ticker idea. because everyone on the marathon will see their good luck messages at 12pm :|

[FreakaZoid101]

What's the ticker thing?

[Jono]

What's the ticker thing?

There's a little thing on the bottom of the screen from friends of the runners with messages for them.
