Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
NEW UPDATE!
Hurray the run is over and I managed to do it under two hours thereby saving myself 50 quid and a massive round of beers for my sponsors. The actual time was 1:55:43 not bad for someone wearing a tutu! Once again thank you everybody for your kind donations.
!!!!! UPDATE............UPDATE........UPDATE..............!!!!!
Its a conspiracy. Whole swathes of my girlfriends family are now conspiring to see me made a mockery of on national TV! A mock up (see left) shows how I may have to endure the freezing Newcastle temperatures this Sunday, whilst trying to keep my breakfast down and rickety knees inj one piece! All that stands in the way of me and total humilation is a mere £130 which is just over 100 green queens from you generous people and if you gift aid it thats about 25 sterlings from the government. My true friends, you know what to do! Amy has the neon green tutu and she isnt afraid to use it........on me!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The more people that donate the more guilty I will feel about missing runs in my training schedule. So please donate and add that extra nudge to get me out of the door whilst I'm away. Just think as an added bonus for sponsoring me you may get to see me revisit my breakfast, live at the finish line, on national TV. Or maybe I might have to stop for a rather badly timed toilet break a la Paula Radcliffe. At the very least I should feature in a future series of "When half marathons go bad!" So come on, your donation really means a lot to me and to NSPCC.
If I dont do it inside 2 hours I'm giving 50 Quid to the fund myself!
There will be "fun" side bets available as long as all proceeds go to the NSPCC
What have I let myself in for!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
