My story

Stop press - Martin receives last minute tips from his chairman (see pic)!

Your Hour for My Hour!

Martin Bolton, Claims Assessor at Marketform has bravely stepped up to the challenge of running in the British 10k London Run on 6^th July to raise money for our charity Coram (www.coram.org.uk) as a part of Marketform's Lloyd's Charity Challenge (www.marketform.com/LloydsChallenge)

More at home running a court case than running a road race, Martin has predicted that with some punishing gym sessions in the weeks to come he could well be able to complete the race with a time of just over an hour.

As a consequence, he is challenging those of you who charge by the hour to sponsor him the equivalent of your hourly charge out rate (or if you think he’ll be particularly slow feel free to sponsor him for 2 hours or 3 hours)!

For those of you who are not charged out by the hour and don’t have to fill in timesheets, lucky you! You'll have some time to sponsor him some more!

Martin will be running with 25,000 other people and will be seen by thousands of spectators enroute to Buckingham Palace (if not also by the Queen herself!) This will be a great opportunity to advertise your business so if you would like to buy space on Martin’s T-shirt (or any other pieces of clothing) please contact him at martin.bolton@marketform.com

Martin welcomes your donation through the justgiving website. However cash or cheque donations are also most welcome to our offices at Marketform, 8 Lloyd's Avenue London EC3N 3EL.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor: Coram gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor Martin now!
