Dear southampton echo
I've sent this letter to southampton fc in connection with benali's big run
Can you help to drum up some interest the amount raised so far is embarrassing!
Maybe do an article and get more fans to do the same as I have and put some Pressure on the footballing community
Dear southampton fc
I've i've written to you already concerning Francis benali big run this seems that there's not enough effort being made by the club and by the football community to raise this million pounds that he's trying to raise there is nowhere near enough coverage or publicity surrounding this Event? this is a gargantuan effort from Francis I think it would be a great gesture that the gate money or at least part of it! on Saturday should be donated to cancer research appeal
Kind regards
Gary Byres
I've also Written into the sky sports editor and the southampton echo.
Together we can make a difference
Feel free to cut and paste this letter and add your own name and send it

{Ed001's Note - the man is doing something incredible, I am surprised it hasn't got a lot more coverage.}

Totally agree on a bye note what's happening with florin gardos

FYI - there should be some Sky Sport coverage later today and hopefully some additional article from a well known website too.

Considering he is nearly running the equivalent of two marathons a day, consecutively for three weeks is INSANE. 1000 miles. Even crazier when you consider the lack of coverage.

For anyone who hasn't donated please do. Fran and Cancer Research deserve it.
