Tonsley
Events are proud to announce that for the second year running, they will be in
full support of the London Marathon. After a fantastic performance by 2002's Tonsley
Trackstar, our very own SImon Woolf has stepped into the running shoes for 2003!
And so here we are asking YOU to help Woolfy in his quest to run 26.2 miles around
London on 13th April to raise funds for Whizz-kidz, a national children's charity
with a very simple goal - to give disabled children and young people independent
mobility. Regardless of whether
you want to watch Woolfy do it, help him do it, raise funds so he will do it or
simply have a beer whilst he talks about doing it, this is the site to follow
his fortunes! |  |

Woolfy's
Profile |
 |  |
Aged 34, Simon J H Woolf has always had two life passions: beer
and ale. In fact, this time last year, he was quoted as saying that he could "never
be arsed with that running marlarkey" and "running is a complete waste
of time". However, a number of sessions with the Tonsley Training Team has
turned him round and now Battersea Park regulars will often speak of the speed
of "the cheetah" as he hurtles by in his florescent yellow tight lycra
all-in-one, sending the old dears to the ground and blowing their poodles into
the trees. His mother has recently expressed her delight
at Simon's new hobby, while comparing it with surprise to some of his older favourite
pasttimes like Airfix aeroplane construction and chucking eggs at passing cars
on the A51. Cheeky boy! His father, on the other hand, declined to comment. |

Marathon's map to see exactly where we will all be meeting at each "Supporter
