00:59 My name is John Burkill, better known as the Sheffield's Man with a Plam, which I push all over the country, raising money for Mike Millman as much as I can, when I can.
01:11 And can I wish everyone a great, great Christmas, have a happy Christmas, all the people that's donated, both the Wensley and United supporters, no matter who you support, they have been 100%, now wrong words John, 1000% behind what I've tried to do over the years.
01:31 So I thank them so much, I thank everybody that makes a donation into that bucket, every penny makes a difference to Mike Millman, thank you very much each and everyone, have a great, great Christmas.
01:44 Well, my pride and work for Mike Millman, I started in 2007, I started in 2007, I targeted raising a quarter million pounds, which I managed to do over the years, and with all the races I do all over the country, Mike Thomas who's run for all races all over the country, he's a great friend of mine.
02:12 And to date I have done 1034 races, probably a total of, I don't know, but going on towards, I think, with all the walking I do all the time, I started to raise a million pounds for Mike Millman, I think I've walked a million miles to do it, and I think I'm going to carry on as long as I am.
02:36 I'm 84 years old now, 85 at Christmas, next year, 4th January, and I'm going to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. I get up in the morning, I have two slices of bread and dripping, three quarter steps, sometimes I do 40 on my knees and that's where we go.
