Dear chums

Do you believe that all librarians and historians are deskbound and degenerate? Think again!

Your honest and faithful friend Kenneth R. Bogle PhD will attempt to run the astonishing distance of 26.2 miles at the Brighton Marathon Race on Sunday 15 April 2018. Oh help.

I am running the race to say a huge thank you to Macmillan Cancer Support who helped my loved ones through difficult times. 

Fundraising is hugely important to Macmillan. Without people doing daft stuff like pretending they are still youthful and running marathons, Macmillan wouldn’t exist.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.

Please donate as much as you can and think of my poor feet. On second thoughts just send money and forget about the feet. 

Your pal

Ken :-)
