Howdy folks!

Thanks for taking the time out to visit my fundraising page for the 2009 London Marathon.

I'm hoping that all you twitterers and facebook buddies can help me raise the final £1500 of my target by finding it in your hearts to each relieve yourselves of a score (£20) for a very good cause. Okay I'm being cheeky...a tenner will do!

I'm also open to offers to wear your company logos and colours on my arms, legs, head, back...in fact anywhere...for larger amounts of hard cash stuffed in brown envelopes.

In case you didn't know, Laureus celebrates the universal power of sport to bring people together as a force for good, passionately embodying the very spirit of sport – the pursuit of excellence, overcoming challenges, celebrating achievement and excellence, and winning against the odds.

It uses the power of sport to help tackle pressing social challenges through a worldwide programme of sports related community development initiatives funded and supported by the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.

Laureus attracts groups of people who share a belief in the power of sport to break down barriers, to engage with others and to change the world for the better. It seeks to inspire hope and positive change for children around the world using sport as a unique social vehicle.

So, make yourself feel better and make a little person smile. You know you want to!!

Thanks so much!

Mark
