Rowley Regis is a great place to live and it used to have a great website too. Rowley Regis Online has been offline for a while and Matt Johnson (the brains behind the site) has been giving quite a bit of thought lately about bringing in back in some shape or form.
For those of you who were around rowleyregis.com a few years ago you may recall that Matt (or Admin as he was known on the site) lost his wife shortly after their son was born (Harry is fine now everyone - started school now and doing great, thanks).
Matt has chosen to run (or hobble) The Great North Run in September 2009 in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust who are doing great work in funding research to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease.
How can you help?
You can sponsor Matt for The Great North Run and help raise money for this great cause.
Please also feel free to pass on the link to anyone who you think would like to donate - maybe you enjoyed Rowley Regis Online (when it was online) and want to put something back. The link is www.justgiving.com/mafjohnson
About The Great North Run
The Great North Run is a half marathon (13.1 miles) that will take place somewhere up north on 20 September 2009.
The Run will be on the telly (BBC1 I think) so you can watch it from the comfort of your own home and not even break a sweat. There's over 50,000 runners registered with a lot of people raising money for their favourite cause.
If you know Matt and want to talk to him about websites then get in contact - I'm sure he can be persuaded to knock up the odd website if you ask nice enough.
