Well Done Sam - Walk The Walk Worldwide

I have to say I am feeling very very proud to have done the Moon Walk. When I 1st agreed to do this I was not sure what to expect I knew it would be tough but I was willing to take on the challenge.

We set off at 11.20 on Saturday night at a good pace, after getting to 4 miles my friend who at not done any training started to slow down. From 5 Miles to 17 miles we walked at a very slow pace and was stopping a lot. I found this quite difficult as I was cold and I wanted to walk faster as I have trained to walk at a certain pace. Anyways after 17 miles I set off alone and power walked the final 9 miles finishing at 07.53am. Bless my friend she did manage to finish about an hour after me so fair play to her.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated and sent me messages of support throughout. Between us we have raised over £1300 and have helped make a big difference to breast cancer.

Watch out next year as Team Smasson gets bigger with my mum joining me. I am already looking forward to it.

The Playtex MoonWalk is organised by Walk the Walk and is the world's original power walking marathon which takes place in London at night! This is a unique event as not only do all the participants power walk a marathon, but they all wear decorated bras to raise awareness for breast cancer

Well done CJ

Many congratulations to Craig who managed to complete the Marathon in a commendable 4:57:01

Craig Jones - Cystic Fibrosis Trust

I am 22 years old (23 after 11th March) and born and raised in Sutton in Surrey. All my life I've suffered with the terminal genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis, but I have never allowed it to stop me from living my life to the fullest and getting along as normally as possible despite needing physio, taking all sorts of medication and enough tablets to make me rattle. The average number of tablets I normally take is 50 - 60 a day and that's excluding a nebuliser that helps protect me from chest infections.
I'm also an avid Millwall season ticket holder. I have been very lucky to be a part of and love my life and friends and family who mean the world to me.

I have been very lucky with my condition knowing that it could very easily have been me lying on a bed in hospital with all sorts of IVs and tubes coming out of me to help control the Cystic Fibrosis or even be so ill I'd have to be on a lung transplant list.

Thankfully this isn't the case and so with my good health I thirst to take on a challenge and help those less fortunate than me who urgently need a cure more than I do. So I am running the Flora London Marathon for the first time for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

My father has run the Marathon on numerous occasions and I want to follow in his footsteps and show that I can rise to the challenge and not only raise awareness and money for Cystic Fibrosis, but also prove that someone with Cystic Fibrosis isn't always limited.

This is the biggest challenge of my life and I am looking forward to 13th April and being there at the finishing line with legs like dijon mustard, feet that feel like they're falling apart and a mind mentally battered!

The 'Slobby Seven'

Based on the hit Celebrity Fit Club ITV show, the Millwall Supporters Club, The Lions Trust and Dr Alison Leary of the Millwall matchday medical service have teamed up to persuade seven portly fans to shape up and lose weight.

Starting on November 24th, it'll follow the progress of a 'Slobby Seven' group of fans through to the end of the season as they aim to change their lifestyle for the better - and lose weight for charity.

The Slobby Seven are (left to right) Peter Townsend, Jim Webb, Guy Collings, Thomas Marshall, Steve Jones, Nick Hart and Peter Garston (not pictured).

We'll be monitoring their progress as the months go by here, in the matchday magazine, as well as online at www.justgiving.com/millwallfitclub where donations of support can be made in aid of the Everyman appeal.

Or maybe you'd like to shift a few pounds yourself? If you do, get in touch with The Lions Trust at lionstrust@gmail.com for further details.

Progress Update

The pounds are dripping away from the magnificent seven Millwall fans taking part in the Fit Club. The benefits of regular exercise and a balanced diet are becoming increasingly obvious to all - just check the following results taken at the third weigh-in prior to the Tranmere game on January 19th:

• Jim Webb: 13st 8lbs (lost 11lbs)
• Nick Hart: 16s 8lbs (lost 3 lbs)
• David Knight: 16s 7lbs (lost 1 stone)
• Tom Marshall: 15s 5lbs (lost 4lbs)
• Steve Jones: 19st 2lbs (lost 1 stone 1lb)
• Guy Collings: 15s 13lbs (lost 1 stone)
• Peter Garston: 14st 11lbs (no change)
• Peter Townsend: 19st 9lbs (lost 1stone 9lbs)

All weights lost date from the starting point on November 24th 2007.

If you are interested in making changes to your weight and lifestyle, then try and aim to eat no more that 2,000 (women) to 2,500 (men) calories per day. The Fit Club has found the best source of advice to be the Food Standards Authority's 'Eat Well -Be Well' website - and also check out the British Dietetic Association's website for specific fact sheets.

The Millwall Fit Club has been set up by the MSC, The Lions Trust and the Millwall matchday medical team - who are always available for advice near W14 in the West Lower. You can support the Fit Club by visiting www.justgiving.com/millwallfitclub - all money generated will go to the Everyman male cancer appeal.
