If you know me you're probably aware that my default answer to physical events is "Not for me, happy to give a tenner to get rid of you".  This time, I said "Yes"  (Why god WHY??). 

I've never done anything like this in my life and I'd like my first athletic event to not simply trigger laughter and abuse from my co-workers but to raise a reasonable sum for Hope & Homes for Children.  My team target is £7500 but I'm happy to accept kind donations of any amount.

As an employee of St. James’s Place, the Foundation will match any sponsorship I raise and on top of that, Hope and Homes for Children has secured the support of UK Aid Match from the Department for International Development (DFID) which means that any funds that I raise between September 13th and December 13th will be matched pound for pound by the UK Government and by the Foundation!  Please sponsor me to help raise money for this incredibly worthy cause, but to triple the impact that your sponsorship will have, please hold off donating until September 13th.”
