We are aware that a number of Lions fans will be taking part in this year's London Marathon, raising much-needed funds for a variety of fantastic charities.
We at Millwall want to encourage and assist any Lions supporters taking part as best we can by helping to advertise on the official website who is running, for what charity and how people can sponsor them.
We will publish all the relevant details right here if you are running. It will also appear in the 'Club Announcement' and 'MSC' sections.
Let the introductions commence, starting with Lions Press Officer Andrea Tennant:

On April 13th I am intending to walk the London Marathon with my partner Ben in order to raise money for the Breast Imaging Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer whilst training for the 2007 London Marathon and over the last year have had most of my treatment at QEH. However I was able to defer my race entry for one year and now it is important for me to use my place and in the process raise money for something that means a lot to us.
With the big day only seven weeks after my final radiotherapy session, running the course isn't an option. So Ben and I are going to walk the 26.2 miles instead - hoping to finish somewhere between Paula Radcliffe and anyone in a diving suit!
Any and all donations will be very gratefully received. It is our way of trying to thank the staff at the hospital for all they have done for me, and also to help the many women (and men) who pass through the Breast Imaging Unit each year.
Please visit our justgiving page http://www.justgiving.com/andreaandben and remember to tick the Gift Aid box - that way the Unit will get an extra 28% on top of your donation!
Many thanks,
Andrea

My name is Harvey Pugh:
I will be attempting this year's London Marathon on behalf of Cancer Research in memory of a good friend and life long Millwall fan Lee James, who lost his long battle with cancer last October, and for my brother-in-law who is battling this terrible disease.
Training is going well and I am up to 13 miles now, I think this is being helped by the fact that I have not had an alcoholic drink since New Year's Eve and will not be having one till after Marathon day!
I would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me so far, and ask all Lions fans to keep their fingers crossed for me on the big day. Please visit my sponsorship page to see messages from my sponsors and also donate to this very worth cause www.justgiving.com/harvey

Hi, my name's Paula McMahon:
My family have been Millwall supporters for as long as I can remember - many years ago my Nan ran one of the old cafes at the Cold Blow Lane ground. I can still remember buttering the rolls, trying to sneak one of the little pink bubblegums, and the first time I was allowed to use the tea urn!
I'm running the London Marathon this year to help raise funds and awareness for Demelza, a children's hospice in Sittingbourne (with another building under construction in Eltham and scheduled for completion in December 2008). M
y god-daughter Sophie, whose family are also Millwall supporters, has a life-limiting condition called Di George syndrome which means that she needs constant medical care and supervision, and the nurses from Demelza who provide at-home hospice care have helped to make life just that bit easier for her family.
You can find out more about Demelza here at www.demelza.org.uk

You can sponsor me and help raise funds so that they can continue with their fantastic work at my Justgiving page: www.justgiving.com/paulaandsophie
Thanks!

Next up is season ticket holder Craig Jones, who is running the marathon for a very special reason:

I am 22 years old (23 after 11th March) and born and raised in Sutton in Surrey. All my life I've suffered with the terminal genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis, but I have never allowed it to stop me from living my life to the fullest and getting along as normally as possible despite needing physio, taking all sorts of medication and enough tablets to make me rattle. The average number of tablets I normally take is 50 - 60 a day and that's excluding a nebuliser that helps protect me from chest infections.
I'm also an avid Millwall season ticket holder. I have been very lucky to be a part of and love my life and friends and family who mean the world to me.
I have been very lucky with my condition knowing that it could very easily have been me lying on a bed in hospital with all sorts of IVs and tubes coming out of me to help control the Cystic Fibrosis or even be so ill I'd have to be on a lung transplant list.
Thankfully this isn't the case and so with my good health I thirst to take on a challenge and help those less fortunate than me who urgently need a cure more than I do. So I am running the Flora London Marathon for the first time for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
My father has run the Marathon on numerous occasions and I want to follow in his footsteps and show that I can rise to the challenge and not only raise awareness and money for Cystic Fibrosis, but also prove that someone with Cystic Fibrosis isn't always limited.
This is the biggest challenge of my life and I am looking forward to 13th April and being there at the finishing line with legs like dijon mustard, feet that feel like they're falling apart and a mind mentally battered!

Neil Richardson is another season ticket holder taking part:

Like CJ (who I do actually know) I am also running the London Marathon this year.
I've been a season ticket holder for 20 years, now days in Block 10. What seemed like a good Idea at the time is now rapidly becoming a painful reality.
I'm running my first (and most likely last) marathon on behalf of Cancer Research.
Like many, I've lost someone close to me through cancer. So for me the very least I can do is push myself through the pain barrier to try and help prevent other people losing loved ones.
