Marek's 2015 Marathon Musical Torture
Fundraising for Alzheimer Scotland
Story
Thanks for making it this far. Let me give you two reasons for taking a step further and donating money to Alzheimer Scotland.
Firstly, you will be supporting a cause that many don't think about, but many more can't stop thinking about. If you have ever seen someone gradually succumb to dementia you know it is the most terrifying condition you can imagine. If you have not, I truly hope you don't have to. Alzheimer Scotland offers invaluable support for those who are diagnosed, their loved ones as well as funding crucial research.
Secondly, you get the chance to torture me. My 2014 Marathon experience was painful, but I want to take it to the next level. You will know how much I rely on music on my runs. Heavy metal has been with me since I started running and I frankly can't imagine running without it. At the 2015 Marathon that choice will not be mine, it will be yours.
For every £10 you donate I offer you the chance to nominate any song you want and I will add it to my playlist.
It is my intention to run with a playlist of 100 songs, nominated by you, without any input from me. You could of course pick some of my favourites, but I suspect you will revel in this chance and throw some curve balls my way. Leave your choice(s) in the comments. My only condition is for the song to be around 5 minutes long or shorter.
I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of this experiment and I hope all of you who made it this far can take that one last step.
Thank you.
