Team KillerViralThe winner of this years BritBallRun not only got a great trophy but free entry to next years event. Chris from Team KillerViral had a few words to say about the big win and prize over on www.theroadster.net:
"We had an incredible time, met some wonderful people saw some amazing places, laughed more than I have for a very long time and most importantly I feel that the car really enjoyed it too! The organisers did a fabulous job and I can't wait to do it all over again next year! All that said... One of the main reasons I feel embarrassed is that I don't think we were the true winners. We had a good sat nav (and the best car for the job clearly), had a few strokes of luck along the way and I have a pretty good memory which really helped. The real winners however were Ecce and Talj. I am brim full of admiration for what they achieved, how much they raised and the work they put in. They are the true champions and deserve all of our respect and admiration. Three cheers for team smarties! Hip hip..."
We were both moved by Chris' words but had not expected his next move...
"After giving it a bit of thought and chatting with Talj, Ecce and the Britball guys, I've decided to donate the free entrance we get for winning this years event to team Smarties. I was mainly in it for the fun of it and partially in it to raise awareness of Killerviral.com. Team Smarties however raised loads of cash for a great cause (although of course they had a great time too) and it makes more sense that they should have it"
What does this mean for Rose's Tribute Fund? Well, thanks to the kind donation from Chris and Paul, although our fund still shows £4,500.99 it is actually £5,200.99! We are absolutely delighted to have achieved the target we set for ourselves.
When we visited Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology a few days before the Britballrun it brought home to us just how important the work they do there is. So many people are effected by this terrible disease and they have so much to go through. Clatterbridge offers a peaceful, clean, friendly environment for those receiving treatment and we know that every penny of the money we raise will be put to good use.
So, from Team SMARTies, a VERY BIG THANK YOU to Chris and Paul. The beers are on us next time boys :o)

Hi Guys, it was entirely my pleasure to do this and it seems to make sense this way anyway, even if there hadn't been a free entry I would have returned to defend my title! Anyway, well done and thanks for the mentch!
Cheers
