Last week someone asked me to sponsor them for doing a 2 mile run.
Now I'm not one for decrying charitable ventures, but in my book that's called 'getting some exercise' and is a slippery slope at the bottom of which lies 'will you sponsor me, I'm having a bath?'
I've been running most of my adult life (not constantly, obviously) and average about 40km a week.
I'm going to ask you to sponsor me to go running.
I'll keep an online diary of my mileage (or kilometerage) on my facebook page and you can make a one-off donation or (if you're completely deranged) pay me per kilometer in perpetuity.
Three years ago my Mum died of a stroke and most of my family (on both sides) are beset with cardio vascular wrongness of one kind or another.
So, there's a fairly strong likelihood that I will face the possibility of a stroke at some point. I suppose therefore, that what I'm asking you to do is sponsor me to help alleviate the probable cause of my own death.
Please give generously.
Many thanks
Johnny
