Story

Update 4 April 2006

We have been absolutely bowled over by the generosity that everyone has shown.  We would also like to point out that in addition to the names below we have received generous sponsorship pledges offline from Andy Hornby, Phil Hodkinson, John Edwards, John Veale, Richard Catnach and Ian Black.

Many Thanks / Vielen Dank

We are having our mid-life crisis......

As you move closer to your middle-age you start to do strange things - some people buy fast cars or big motorbikes, others take-up extreme sports or climb large mountains.....Martin and Alison have chosen to accept a rather testing challenge....

The bad news is that we have made a silly bet. We thought we could beat the time of a much younger colleague that ran the London Marathon last year. The good news is that children with cancer and leukemia will benefit from all of our hard work.

To help motivate us to keep going to the finish line, we would kindly ask you to sponsor us - any amount will help as we have pledged to raise a combined total of €4,500 / £3,000 in donations. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: CLIC 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.

Wir befinden uns in unserer „Midlife Crisis” ...

Wenn man etwas älter wird, fängt man an, komische Sachen zu machen. Einige Leute kaufen sich schnelle Autos oder Motorräder. Andere wählen Extremsport und klettern auf hohe Berge. Martin und Alison dagegen haben eine ziemlich harte Herausforderung angenommen.

Die schlechte Nachricht: Wir haben eine etwas törichte Wette angenommen. Wir dachten, wir könnten schneller laufen als ein (viel jüngerer!) Kollege, der im letzten Jahr am London Marathon teilgenommen hat.  Die gute Nachricht: Kinder, die Krebs oder Leukämie haben, profitieren von der Aktion.

Wenn ihr uns unterstützen möchtet, damit wir die Ziellinie erreichen, dann bieten wir euch die Möglichkeit, uns zu sponsern. Jeder Betrag hilft, da wir uns verpflichtet haben, insgesamt 4.500 € (3.000 £) an Spenden beizutragen. Diese Site bietet euch die Möglichkeit, auf einfache, schnelle und vollkommen sichere Weise zu spenden. Auf diese Weise könnt ihr uns auf effiziente Weise sponsern, denn eure Spenden werden zügig an die Organisation CLIC weitergeleitet.

Many thanks for your support.

Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung!

About the charity

CLIC

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 802396
Each day in the UK five families are told their child has cancer or leukaemia. From that moment on their lives will never be the same again. Most children will survive, some will die, but the scars on every family will remain. CLIC's role is to try and help these children and their families cope and keep life as normal as possible. It offers an all-embracing approach including practical hands-on care, clinical services, financial and emotional support. CLIC has joined together with Sargent Cancer Care for Children to become the UK’s leading children’s cancer charity.
