Flora London Marathon 2005 · 17 April 2005 ·

Story

It's you!
How lovely you're looking today! How bright and breezy, yet intellectually intriguing too. And how wonderful of you to come to my sponsorship page.
Somehow, I'm doing the London Marathon. If training is anything to go by, it proves to be a truly miserable, degrading and painful experience. If my sincerest flattery has worked its voodoo, you should right now be thinking of just how much you'd love to sponsor me to suffer such an ordeal.
I'm running for Medicins Sans Frontieres - I won't bang on about their work, but the bottom line is they get stuck in and make a difference and that's what it's all about.
The blurb from this site says:
"Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Médecins Sans Frontières UK 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, no excuses.
I'm obviously trying to raise as much as I can for MSF, but even the smallest donation will help. Just not as much. If you get my drift.
Right, give us yer money and I'll run my socks off and shout your name loudly if I encounter a TV camera en route. Thanks a million. Ian
