Upon finishing he updated his Facebook status (yes practically our whole family is on FB) with the following:
‘Completed the marathon in tremendous pain, started getting bad cramps at 16 miles and for the last 10 miles had to visit St John’s Ambulance tent’s for massages regularly, but I finished; all be it in 6hours and 4 minutes but in the end it was not about the TIME I finished but about the good times my fundraising will give to children suffering from Leukaemia. My pain will be their gain…’
Aww so modest. Just want to say how proud we are of him. This is his second London Marathon the first one he ran in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust; and now in aid of Children with Leukaemia.
Unfortunately cancer does not discriminate so we all probably know someone who has been affected by cancer therefore what he is doing and has done is commendable.
He is also throwing a fund raising dance on 7th May 2011. Location: Stratford in London all proceeds going to Children with Leukaemia.
Therefore I would encourage you BDSS’ers to come out on the 7th May to lend your support to a great and worthy cause.
Tickets are £10 and it’s from 7pm -12am so you still have time (if your not too partied out) to go on to some other none worthy rave! haha

Just some interesting facts about Rawley P:
1) He is what some would call a ‘gym freak’. If he is not at work you can find him in the gym, it’s like his second home. Not only that his gym people are like his second family.
2) He once had a 100 metre race with a man 15 years his junior. He reasoned it was a win-win situation:
‘As I'm older if I loss people won't be surprised because well.. I'm older. However if I win people will be surprised and I will get all the adulation’… by the way he WON –lol (it was the most hilarious thing I've ever witnessed) - so he is great fun!
3) His 50th birthday party was a road block event. I’m talking cars parked illegally on the pavement, on double yellow lines etc. There was just no place to park!
…Therefore BDSS’ers tickets for the fund raising event are likely to sell out fast! So in order to not miss out on a good night and a great cause email us now… info@thebdss.com xoxo
