"If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody."

So there you go, according to this Chinese proverb the simple act of sponsoring me to run the Liverpool Marathon on October 9th will actually guarantee you a lifetime of happiness*... and me 26.2 miles worth of pain. Sound like a good deal?

No fundraising effort ever succeeds unless one person asks another person for money, so here we go... please make a donation below, however small the amount.
