Matthew Aslett's Marathon

Matthew Aslett is raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Edinburgh Marathon 2008 · 25 May 2008 ·

We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. Because we believe no childhood should be lost to illness.

Story

Hello everyone. After a couple of years of saying I would never attempt the marathon, I have succumbed and will be running 26.2 miles around Edinburgh in late May.

This is the one and only time I intend to do this, so I thought I'd also take the opportunity to raise some money for a good cause - and Great Ormond Street Hospital was the best cause I could think of.

Please give generously. After this I promise I won't be pestering for more sponsorships for a very long time.

If anyone's interested, I will be running at 8m30s per mile pace, which should see me getting round in about 3h42m, although I'll be happy to just get round.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC) 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.
