<p>according to Just-giving if you receive spam from them then it's not from them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I've never done a half marathon before so enjoy giving money to see me agonising (hopefully at the finish line). I know the fundraising target is unrealistic but I like to aim high.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have no ambition to train before hand. It is silly enought to run half a marathon. I'm not just for fun going to do that more often than I really need to. Therefore strictly no training. I would invite you to have a last drink with me the night before but I'm afraid that would be taking it too far.</p> <p>so take that money instead and donate it to some kids helping to fulfill their wishes of becoming firemen, policemen or facility service agents.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>Michael Rauschenbach</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The race is over and I made it to the finish line. took me 2 hours and 17 minutes but it felt a lot longer.</p>
