Due to juggling two jobs, too many other commitments and down right lazyness on my part I didn't do the London Marathon this year. You may therefore have thought that you would not get a pleading e-mail for support this year - but you were wrong.  For, as last year, I will be running in the Royal Parks 1/2 marathon on Sunday 11 October - and looking for your help.

 

All messages of support and cheering on the day are most welcome. But money talks the loudest when it comes to sponsorship for charity - so please forget the credit crunch and all the Cassandra's urging you to save and help support London's premier public spaces.

 

Donating through this site is simple and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me, as The Royal Parks Foundation 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 and thank you for your support.

Best wishes,

Mark
