#Cancer has no colours


Firstly hello all and I hope it is ok with the moderators to post this.


My name is Tony Munday, I am a 49 year old unfit Millwall supporter (someone has to be) who is heading for the knackers yard. On Sunday March 18th I am running the Brentwood half marathon on behalf of a 3 year old little girl called Isla Caton who is suffering from the same horrible disease that took Bradley Lowery the boy who captured the nations hearts.

The disease is Neuroblastoma and the treatment for this is only available in America.

Last Tuesday young Isla had an operation to move a tumour from her brain and now goes back to chemo treatment to clear the cancer.

Through the Bradley Lowery foundation the family need to raise £400,000.


Here’s the catch.


Isla Caton is born into a staunch West Ham family and as a Millwall supporter I am using this as leverage to raise as much money for her as possible.

The rivalry between the two clubs is huge and I pray they lose every week.


I set my original target at £1000 and declared I would run in a West Ham shirt if reached. Due to having many West Ham friends who I have wound up over the years I reached the £1000 in 24 hours.

I added targets

£2000 to run in full kit

£3500 to do crossed hammers at finish line

£7000 to run with dyed claret and blue hair

I’ve topped the £7000 so the hair will be dyed,then raised to £12,000 as this girl needs as much as possible but that has also been reached. Now I’ve set it at £15,000.

The Bradley Lowery foundation is a marvellous tribute to the sadly missed youngster.


Normally I wouldn’t even look at a West Ham kit let alone wear one but I’m prepared for the stick I’ll get for the rest of my life so this amazing little girl gets what she needs. My pain will be nothing compared to what she is going through.

It’s a very small sacrifice for me to make.


I plan on joining forums of all 92 league clubs plus the 5 big Scottish clubs to post this message and hoping the football family come together to help smash this target and help send this incredibly brave little girl to America to save her life by donating to my just giving page.

Since I started joining the various forums a few days ago it has been a roaring success


In my eyes cancer has no colours especially in children.

Isla’s twitter address is @islasfight, feel free to look and see what she’s going through


Here is my just giving page below, hopefully you will find it in your hearts to donate to the cause through my run.

Forget the new £15,000 target lets smash it to as much as possible, this angel deserves a chance at life


I thank you all so much in advance

Cheers mate, I did try to get it more exposure on the divisional pages.
Not sure how many will see it here

I'm going to break my (usually) strict rule on donating only to a group of specified charities, and make a donation, Tony. I think I can safely say that everybody on 1FF will offer their best wishes to Isla and her family.

Respect to you for your efforts and good luck on the run. Top Bloke.

Where do I start!!!


Today’s Brentwood half marathon was cancelled due to the inclement weather and will not be rescheduled.

I took all the donations on the premise that I would do the forfeits I put in place.

So I will honour them all.


So now on Saturday 31st March, I will run a much more dangerous route from Cold Blow Lane to the Olympic Stadium via the New Den and the Boleyn ground wearing full West Ham kit and having claret and blue dyed hair. I will do crosses hammers at the finish where I will meet up with some of Isla’s fundraisers and then take in the West Ham v Southampton game


I’ll be surprised if I don’t get a whack from someone along the route, more so through Millwall territory in Bermondsey!!


I hope this will satisfy all of those who have donated.

Wish me luck, I need it!!


I thank you all once more for your incredible support

The Queen of the Piskies is known as Joan the Wad (don't laugh). Wad is the Cornish word for 'torch fire'.

Joan is traditionally said to use her Wad (Torch) to light the way to safety and good luck for those who travel through dangerous country. As a Cornish rhyme says, "Good fortune will nod, if you carry upon you Joan the Wad".

You can print and cut out the pic of the Joan charm below and put it in your pocket if you want to (sorry, it was the best one I could find on a quick online search). I'm not sure if Cornish good luck charms work as far away as Bermondsey. My remaining South London instincts tell me you'd probably be better off carrying a baseball bat.

But good luck anyway. I admire your commitment and pluck.

Two more days until I run into the valley of death!

Look out for the Goals pull out in The Sun this weekend, it’s possible there will be a bit in there about Isla, the run and the coming together of football fans to raise this money

All done and dusted, had a great day. Met and drank with some proper old school West Ham who were absolute top notch.
Thank you to everyone again
