WILL IS YET ANOTHER DAC MARATHON SUCCESS!

Dial-a-Cab driver Will Jones (B38) was yet another Dial-a-Cab driver to successful complete this year’s Flora London Marathon. He had tried previously to get onto the list of runners for the event, but failed. But this year he made it and completed the course in a good 4hours 47minutes.
   Will ran for the UK-based disabled children’s charity KIDS.ORG running along with his best mate, Neil Richardson. They were aiming for a time of 4 – 4.5 hrs and after 26 miles run in extreme heat, came within close!
   Call Sign sponsored Will’s effort in the 26-mile race just as we have several other drivers mentioned in previous issues.
   After the event, Will told Call Sign: "Every one seemed to be running around 30 minutes behind their targets due to the exceptionally hot weather. Even Gordon Ramsay was 40 minutes down on last year! It was the last 6 miles that was the real killer, but it was all worthwhile when I crossed that finishing line to collect my medal! I’m hoping that I will have raised around £1500 in total for this very worthwhile charity."
   KIDS.ORG is a national charity that provides an extensive range of services to over 6,000 disabled children aged 0-19 and their families in 5 regions across England providing services that focus on the child's educational, social, developmental and emotional needs while also providing vital support to their parents, carers and siblings.

As 70`s pop duo Luke and Blake, Dial-a-Cab’s Steve Stern (G34) and friend David Capri had substantial success in the early to mid-70`s. But after not securing the top ten hit they craved, they decided to call it a day and went their separate ways.
   But after a chance meeting of their mothers at the Royal London Hospital and an exchange of phone numbers, the boys are now back with a new name, an old song and a number one download hit!
   As After Eight and with a re-working of their 1973 classic Big Day released onto the MP3 download charts, they are finally getting the success they deserve with Big Day going straight to number one on the Easy Listening charts - and on the day of its release!
   Big Day is the ultimate feel-good summer track and with its natty, catchy rhythm is sure to be heard everywhere and be a big hit at holiday resorts, barbecues and parties right throughout the summer.
   As Luke and Blake, the duo supported the likes of Tom
