Antonia Lee-Bapty Latest News... Results If you haven't already checked these out - make your way to the Hearts & Heroes website where you can download the full set of results... Press If you didn't already see it - here's some coverage before and after the event... "In Pictures" from BBC Website "Soldier's Tales" from The Scotsman Fundraising A few words from John Frame, CEO of The Sportsman's Charity... "Already, thanks to some brilliant fundraising we have already raised a net total of near £100,000 after all costs. But there is lots more to come as many of the Justgiving sites have just started and are short of their aspired targets. Just do your best! And keep going by telling all the cynics that now you succeeded they can support you with a clear conscience! “Mony a mickle maks a muckle!” Send in any spectacular donor stories which you’re happy to share." Photos, Videos & Experiences... Thanks to Ideal Images for the fab photos they took on the day - some of which are gracing this very email.... Check out all the images from the day on the Ideal Images website... Our favourite anecdote so far comes from North Berwick RFC. The following is just a snippet, visit the North Berwick RFC website for the full story... "The last 2 miles were flat but hard going on the tarmac path. The hamstrings weren't happy and stride length was kept to a minimum. We could sense we were close, we spotted the Greenyards through a hedge and one last final burst took us across the finish line" Keep sending your photos in - and feel free to upload them to our facebook group. Special thanks to Douglas Hardie, from Melrose Rugby club for these great collages too... Prizegiving Well done to all our prizewinners! Caledonian Brewery Cup for Fastest Team: Scots Guards Officers' Mess, 5 hrs 8 mins The Martin Currie prize for the Top Fundraising Team will be awarded after all monies have been collected & sent it - although Team Horsetiger are currently in the lead... This will be presented on Tuesday 30 June so keep your sponsorship coming in! On that note - please can you ensure that all sponsorship is collected and sent in asap - if you're in contention for the Martin Currie Cup then please make sure that it is in before 30 June, and all sponsorship money needs to be submitted before the end of July.
