My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution 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.

On 5th October 2008 I will be lining up with approx 50 000 other runners in the BUPA Great North Run, Newcastle.  This is the first time I have ever done anything like this so I'm hoping beginner's luck will see me through to the finish line - and an oxygen mask!

I lived and worked in Orkney for 31 years and I wish to repay the community by donating all funds raised by me to the Kirkwall Station of the RNLI.

Please help me raise as much as possible for this very deserving cause. Thank you.

Willie Harper

P.S,..Could I also kindly ask you to email this page to any of your friends/family 0r work colleagues who may also wish to support RNLI (Orkney). 

PPS..I have since finished the Great North Run as you can see. My time was 2hr26min54sec and position 27 396 out of approx 52 000.

Thank you for all your donations.
