bionicmattyp Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Lotus ‘7’ club member 5087 Matthew Plummer is running in the London Marathon 25th Anniversary this year he is aiming to raise £2000 and beyond for the club charity Leukaemia Research. Those of you that do not know him - after suffering an almost fatal accident as a passenger in a RTA Friday 13th December 1996 having his pelvis smashed in pieces overcoming a serious head injury which at 22 years old had to re-learn how to walk talk and communicate.. parents where told that he would more than likely never walk unaided for the rest of his life to then come back to prove all specialists wrong and run 5 marathons in four years, run the full summer series cross country events only to snap his right leg on the final running around Rudyard Lake, has now recuperated, got back into running and has had the entry rolled over from last year when he could not enter as both bones (tib&fib) were still broken, to run in this years Marathon he has got his own place but has offered to run for our Lotus 7 Club charity Leukaemia Research. Please support, possibly, his last running of the London Marathon here Edited by - bionicmattyp on 30 Jan 2005 12:34:31 Edited by - bionicmattyp on 2 Feb 2005 00:28:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifty Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Supreme effort. Since I ducked out for the last two years with pathetic injuries relative to that, I'll throw £50 into the hat. Best of luck to him. Does he have a target time 🤔 (Edited to ask if bionicmattyp means you are the very same person spoken of 🤔) Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Edited by - Nifty on 30 Jan 2005 12:38:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 OK, OK, I didn't want to put people off but I'll match nifty's, so I'm £50 making £100 in a few minutes. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Oxbiggar Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 As my cat (Feline type) has cost me a fortune in vets bills this month I'm a bit budget struck. Will be happy to send £25.00 though - can't match Nifty's (and others) generosity! Good luck. Ash Bailey. It's not a mid-life crisis.... It's more fun than that!

Normans_Ghost Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 jellybelly, you don't have to send any money till he's done. Just pray the cat keeps well. Not everyone has to go as mad as Nift, the GTD's and us. Mat says a pound will do as it's a pound more than before. So come on you lot a few quid each will do. And you don't have to put it on here, just pledge on the site linked to. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewls Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Surprised that more people haven't pledged money, perhaps they are put of by others generosity. Just to help people feel ok with putting down less than £50, I'll donate £10 Good luck to him, I ran a half marathon a few years ago and it nearly killed me!
