Story
Adrian has entered the London marathon and managed to get in through the ballot (extremely lucky, or not! Depending on how you look at it)
Normally, when you run the London Marathon for a charity you commit to a minimum fundraising amount - however from this, there are entry costs incurred by the charity. By getting in through the ballot Adrian has paid the entry fee so everything he raises goes directly to MIND.
What are you donating for?
