Thank You SWFUK

LEGENDS!!
I just wanted to publicly thank SWFUK, edd_jedi the moderators, and members for their support of The Running Stormtrooper project over the last 5 years.

I simply must thank:
edd_jedi for being there from the beginning and allowing numerous threads over the years including the legendary SWFUK Prize Draws (2015-2018 - the 2015 one was pre-stormtrooper).

Stuart Skinner for going above and beyond: creating and hosting 2 x pub quizzes, helping with my big 2018 raffle, being at both long runs and being the anchor for the Running Stormtrooper Podcast.

SublevelStudios Mark Daniels for his inspired work creating some awesome collecting pieces, boxes and posters with a Vintage theme whilst generating some generous income for the charities. For also being the creative genius behind the Running Stormtrooper virtual medal series which has helped to generate over £5000 on their own!

The Jabba's crew on Facebook for holding several fundraisers for my charities, it really is appreciated.

SAVORY100 Steve Savory for running at least a marathon with me on the day of the 100km run, also running a lot of the 40 miler with me and keeping me going with advice and food!

Grant, Craig, Simon, Dan, Marc and everyone involved in Generation Skywalker for the positivity.

Richard_H Richard and the TVR gang for always giving shout outs and public support.

All of the folk on the forum who have supported me along the way including coming to run with me at Black Park and Pinewood Studios.

Everyone who has donated something to one of the prize draws or raffles, you're all awesome! Thank you.

I know i'll unfortunately be accidentally missing some people out (there are so many), i'm sorry!

Highlights
2016 - London Marathon
2017 - London Marathon (Guinness Record) , Star Wars Celebration 4 x Half Marathons and the 40 Mile run at Black Park & Pinewood Studios

The Running Stormtrooper is done. I can/will do no more.

In total this crazy project has smashed the original target of £2,000 set in 2016 and has now raised over £63,000 plus gift aid!! (just under £70K).
