Sean Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Admins/mods, apologies if this is inappropriate or in the wrong place! As part of a personal mission to make a difference both to myself and others next year, and hopefully to also provide a boost to our local healthcare services, I am committing myself to running 10k each time Derby County fail to win a game (i.e. draw or lose) during 2021. If current form is anything to go by, I'll be stick thin by March! I have started a GoFundMe page to hopefully do a bit of good while also having a bit of fun following our beloved Rams next year. I struggled to settle on a particular charity to support but have gone with the Derby and Burton Hospital Charity in light of the fantastic work they have done in tough circumstances in 2020. If you would wish to donate and provide me some much-needed motivation I'd appreciate literally anything! https://uk.gofundme.com/f/running-10k-if-Derby-county-dont-win-dbhc My other thought was for the Derby City Mission who I know we had done some fundraising for on this forum earlier in the year, please also consider helping their cause if you would prefer; https://www.derbycitymission.org.uk/ Long and the short of it is... We're going to make it a good year in 2021. Quote me, screenshot me, @ me.

Mucker1884 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) What an absolute donk! You'll bloody kill yersen! ? I'll do the easy bit... for every 10k you run, I'll put a fiver to one side. At the end of the season... IF you are still alive... I'll split it 50/50 to each of your chosen charities. Oh... and I think you need to sort out your gofundme link in the OP... The one you have put in is just going to a log in page. ?? Oops... EDIT... At the end of the calendar year, 2021!

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Surely something the club could get behind? "We're just trying really hard to raise the charity money, we thought we might not do it, but we thought of all the hungry children and the fellah doing 6 mile runs and though, yeah, we'd better conceed that last minute equaliser, for the children" But seriously, good on you, that's a hell of an undertaking given our recent tragectory.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 You could do 5k lose, 10k draw and 15k win (to make it exciting). Go for it dude.... RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Waghorn blasts the ball into the roof of our own net in the 90th minute then lifts up his shirt to show a picture of me I'm... not sure how I'd react to that 23 minutes ago, Mucker1884 said: Oh... and I think you need to sort out your gofundme link in the OP...

Maybe this could be a dual effort with @Sean doing the running and @Bubbles providing regular and thorough servicing? Bubbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Save our defeats in 2021 up, and run the London marathon instead. All 3 defeats dealt with in one go. Use the games after promotion to do the Ramathon half marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Good idea Very worthy. I do something similar. I have a pot of tea and toast the morning after we lose. And I do the same thing if we draw. Or if we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
