Not too sure what that picture's all about but there's very little out there of me and Mike together...at least, not sober ones anyway!
We had such a fun time doing the Retail Madrid run in August, what with the chafing, the blisters, the crying etc. so Mike had the wicked idea to do another one! It's a full half marathon through Hyde Park on Sunday 11 October, which is actually a bit further than the run to Wrexham store, but at least we know we won't have Marford Hill to contend with this time! We're aiming to finish in 2 hours, which will be a huge achievement.
Because this isn't part of the M&S 125 celebrations, we're hoping to get fund-matching from Waterside, a scheme where if there's more than one of you doing an event, the business agrees to match whatever donations you get, so if we can raise £250, they'll double it. That plus gift aid will secure somewhere in the region of £700, which will be another awesome tally for the Nightingale House Hospice.
We decided to stick with the Hospice for our charity as it made total sense considering the efforts all of us in RCS went to in the last few months. So here comes another plea for you good people to makes some donations, no matter how great or small, and we'll try and show this London lot what true Northern grit is all about (hopefully this won't mean a third leg break and me trying to finish the run!)
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thanks folks!
