My personal message:

OK, here's the plan. Let's see just how powerful social networking actually is. I have two weeks to harness 'web 2.0' and raise as much money as possible.

Doing an Ironman is madness without dedication and training and as any of you who know me know, I'm more a beer and fags type of athlete. But as foolhardy as this might be, one thing always helps when you do something this extreme - the knowledge that if you stop, someone else might miss out on some all important funds.

After 16 hours of physical punishment, it might be your tenner that keeps me on my feet! And of course, making thousands in such a short time would proof once again that there is more to the web than building huge numbers of 'friends' and then telling each other exactly what you are doing minute by minute.

Come on, let's make donation history!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SPARKS 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 please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
