Fundraising for Oxfam GB
Story
A massive thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, all your donations are really appreciated by Oxfam and myself. As a novice runner it's going to be a big challenge but nothing as tough as those faced by the recipients of your donations. Just £10 (less than a pound a mile!) provides safe drinking water for 10 people, but every pound really does help not just the charity and will make me feel a little less silly knowing I have your support in this ridiculous challenge.
The most ridiculous part is my costume. I am running as a chicken because that is one of the more dressupable things that your donations can help Oxfam fund giving a family a source of food and income!
To explain more here is a little poem I wrote:
Chicken Run
In Autumn of this year, the Great North Run does beckon
I’m wearing fancy dress, as my secret fundraising weapon!...
I’ll run in yellow Lycra with feathers around my feet
And red and yellow plumage so sweaty in the heat!!
The charity is Oxfam and my training is quite tough
As long as I keep breathing through those feathers and bright fluff….
I should complete the Great North Run in just over 2 hours time
On completion of the 13 miles, I’ll be jiggered but sublime!!
So if you’re feeling generous or just want to give applause
Please click the link and donate for this very worthy cause.
So please sponsor me and do something amazing today!
