Story
'3 Marathons in 3 Days Madness'
Your chance to help Darren, Paul, John, Andy & Gary raise as much money as possible for Barnados & Help the Hospices.
Firstly, thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
Now please don't leave the page without donating, unless of course you are running off to get you bank card and returning soon.
Here's the deal.... We decided this year that we should get off our backsides and raise lots of money for charity. We've got a small team of pals and work mates together and starting on the 19th of June 2009 we are going to walk 3 marathons in 3 days down the North East coast to raise money for Barnados & also Help the Hospices.
26 miles every day!! for three days. That is just crazy you all say!! Well, with just a week to go I'm now starting to think you may be right!. It's certainly challenge but hey if if we are asking you to give to charity we can't make it a stroll in the park.
The charities
So, our ask of you is please sponsor us for as much as you can afford. We really do want to raise as much as possible. We are fund raising for two charities. All donations from this site will be donated to Barnados. If you would prefer to donate to Help the Hospices then please go to Paul Jonstone's site at http://www.justgiving.com/pauljohnstone1
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Reasons for us not to do it: We drink too much, we eat too much , some of us smoke too much, we are too fat and too lazy.
Reasons for us to absolutely do it: We drink too much, we eat too much , some of us smoke too much, we are too fat and too lazy - and the people that the charities support will benefit !
So get your hand in your pocket and please sponsor us now! Thanks
Darren, Paul, John, Gary, & Andy
