Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

smoke free Have decided to do my Fetcheveryone mile on Christmas day and duly invite anyone local who wants a laugh to come along and join in/watch/giggle etc. I will be using the South Devon Athletic Club mile time trial route and intend to warm up then do the mile at 10.30am before running home to stuff my face and get p%**£d. Obviously I'm also using this as a way of publicising my fund raising efforts for Cancer Research Uk. www.runningsponsorme.org/kevinbonfield www.runkevinrunparis.blogspot.com YIPPEDYEFFINGDO!!!!!!! Miss Torbay, Junior Greenie and myself all blitzed this in perfect conditions and i am sooooooo happy i can't believe i've ran that time....

Torbay Not sure i should do this race as i know i will come last!! Had a great time. will write more later Fetcheveryone liberation mile!.... I ran my fetch mile with the biggest smile in my heart as today symbolised for me that my soul has now been completely freed. Started running a year ago after getting a ballot place in FLM 2007. I Used to go out at night wearing dark clothes in quiet lanes so know one could see or hear me, it was an escape from the secret hell hole that I lived in for 20 odd years. I used my runs for sobbing my heart out unrelentlessly and perparing myself to cope with continuous mind games and physical abuse. I had a very insular and controlled life with very few friends. Sunday was the only day of the week when I was on my own and I entered my first race in Jan 2007, in which I met my first fetchie, who greated me with a big smile before the race and even came up the big hill at the end to cheer me on. Thankyou Dochart for that you started the beginning of my escape tunnel. For someone with very little confidence I began to improve at a good rate and enjoyed my running it gave me a strength within me that I didn't think I had. Then I had a horrific hip injury which still niggles me today that stopped me running the marathon. My now x husband gloated in the fact that I had failed miserabley. Because of all the new friends I had made through running and the caring support they gave me I was able to blurt it all out one day to my mum and dad how horrid my life was. It was instant safety I never had to spend another night in that house again. I now live in a happy house with no hurt and would like to thank you all,my lovely fetchie friends that have been a real life line to me. Bring on 2008!
