This winter I will be running Britain's 6 hardest marathons in 6 months to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund. I've never ran a marathon before, so I'm absolutely petrified!

The WWF are probably the most important environmental INGO on the planet, so dig deep. For full information go to soulchaser.blogspirit.com.

If you want to donate per marathon, you can do, and if you want to motivate me to run faster then you can pledge an amount per marathon based on a finishing time, or even the total time it takes me to run all six.

To pledge first, email me at m_c.holland@yahoo.co.uk

As a guide, under 4 hours will be amazing, and over 6 pretty sluggish (to begin with, perhaps I'll get quicker with time!). So set me a scaling target, ie: under 4 hours £50, under 4hrs 30mins £40, under 5hrs £25, and so on. Be kind!

The target of £1560 represent £10 for every mile. I'd feel much more motivated running for £20 a mile though!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: WWF-UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support, and spread the news!
