<p>I've been talked into running the London Marathon on behalf of Childline by my friend Tom, who is helping put a team together for Childline 25</p> <p>I'm sure Im probably not the only person who will ask you to sponsor them this year for one of a number of very worthwhile events where the proceeds go to charity, however I beg you, if you do decide to sponsor just one person this year whose first name is David, can it be me? ( unless its David Walliams of course, in which case understand why you'd pick him!!&nbsp;)</p> <p>If I dont finish I'll also personnally give you the amount you donated back, although hopefully you'll be so sorry for me you wont ask.</p> <p>I've attached a recent photo of me so I'm hoping you're thinking, "What have i got to lose?"</p> <p>Well.....</p> <p>You ....nothing ! and you gain the pleasure of&nbsp;knowing you have helped a really worthwhile chairty.</p> <p>Me .....3 stone!&nbsp;</p> <p>.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>David</p>
