Date: December 2004
Jamie used to share a flat with one of Assanka's directors, and kindly agreed to wear our T-shirt with pride when he did the RunLondon challenge at the beginning of December. Unfortunately all runners were required to wear very fetching bright yellow sweatshirts with 'Just Do It' written on them.
Concealing our disappointment, we managed to cobble together a group of dedicated supporters who almost managed to see him at two points along the course. Finishing the 10km course in a not unimpressive 54 minutes, he said "I'd like to thank the great people of Assanka for the friendship and loyal support which has allowed me to realise my dream". Well, he probably thought that. It came out more like pant-pant-pant, pant-pant, wheeze-pant.
