Dearest Money-Givers,

As you may or may not be aware, I have undertaken the somewhat ridiculous task of running a 10k and 16k race within the next 6 weeks.  Not only am I forfeiting my life of beer and chips for pain and injury, I am doing this all voluntarily.  You may laugh, but in exchange for my blood, sweat and tears, I am asking for your hard-earned pennies.

Alongside providing me with an excuse for months of justifiable whinging, I am running to raise money for a charity personal to myself and important people in my life, and so all pennies from this run are going towards Rape Crisis. 

Please donate your hard-earned coins and I promise to master the art of running at a respectable speed whilst carrying a pint of wine and a family sized bar of Galaxy.

I am also fully aware of the irony of this photo.

Hels xxx :)
