Ladies and Gents,
To do my bit for charity, I will undertake my first attempt of the full 26.2 mile (42.196km) Shanghai Marathon on December 4th .… in a Santa Claus outfit!
However, to make this happen, I would need your support! I would be very grateful if you would pledge charitable donations, big or small, towards my run. All proceeds will go to Orbis, the people behind the flying eye hospital. They do amazing work.
There are two ways to do this: you can donate right away or you can pledge first and make the donation later, depending on how much I accomplish on my run. For the latter please e-mail me at cnealpoon@gmail.com so I have a goal to work towards.
You can make your donation via JustGiving (www.justgiving.com/Cornelius-Poon); or if you need an official receipt for tax purposes, please donate to your local Orbis branch instead so they can send you a receipt.
For RMB donations, JustGiving doesnt support UnionPay cards just yet, but you can hand it over to me in Shanghai.
Last but not least, please forward this e-mail to your colleagues, friends and family, and lets raise some cash to do our bit to save vision worldwide!
Sincerely Yours,
Cornelius
