Well for each sponsorship target that is reached there is an addition level of embarrassment for me to endure:<br /><br />£0 - Run The Cardiff Half Marathon - Target Time 1hr 20mins (would put me in top 250ish)<br />£350 - Shave off half of my facial hair (grown for 1 month)<br />£700 - Shave off half my head hair (grown for 3 months)<br />£1000 - Early start for growing facial hair (from as soon as this amount is pledged)<br />£1500 - Shave 1 arm and 1 leg<br />£2500 - Wax off arm and leg hair instead of shaving<br />£4000 - Shave off half of all remaining hair (eyebrow, chest, armpits, etc)<br />£12000 - Run the whole race in a mankini<br /><br />All the money raised will be split equally between 'Tools For Self Reliance (TFSR)' and 'British Heart Foundation'.<br /><br />----British Heart Foundation----<br />My Great Uncle Dick lived life to the full, whether playing sport, enjoying family life or helping in his community. He was a much loved GP, active within his local church and enjoyed attending Derby County matches. There must have been nearly 400 people at his funeral after he died suddenly this summer of a heart attack while playing bowls, which he took up after his medication prevented him from pursuing more active sports like the cricket and football of his youth.<br /><br />We, and he, knew he was living ‘on borrowed time’ since a near fatal heart attack six years earlier. The medical support that helped him recover then, and give him those extra years of full and active life, would not have been possible without past research into heart conditions.<br /><br />The British Heart Foundation continues to research into heart disease and ways to reduce its impact, so that more people, like my uncle, can benefit from longer healthier lives.</span></span></p>
