<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Once upon a time I wrote a list of things to do before I am 30. As a result I have somehow signed up to run a marathon this autumn - eek! <strong>On 17th October I'll be attempting the 26.2 mile course in Amsterdam</strong>.&nbsp;Since it's a bit far to come and watch*, I'm asking people to <strong>SPONSOR A SONG</strong> on my ipod to help motivate me during the race!</p> <p>If you'd like to help, here's what you have to do:</p> <p><strong>1) Donate whatever you can afford</strong>.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>2) Suggest a song in your donation message</strong>. It can be anything you like - something inspiring, something new I won't have heard before, or perhaps something we've had a dance to over the years. After much thought, I've put 10 tracks on the list already (see below) and I'll keep updating it. On the day I'll press shuffle!</p> <p>All the money I raise will go to&nbsp;<strong>Shelter from the Storm,&nbsp;</strong>my local homeless night shelter where I have been volunteering since the New Year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Every donation will be well spent to help provide food, accommodation and support for vulnerable adults in Islington.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope you can spare a few pennies!</p> <p>Lots of love,</p> <p><strong>Maddy xx</strong></p> <p>* But anyone is welcome to fly over!
