Fundraising

So the whole point of me doing all this training, and indeed walking for 7 hours through the night with my bra on show, is to raise money for Walk the Walk. Walk the Walk are a grant making charity who provide funding to hospitals, care groups etc to help improve the care and treatment of those suffering from breast cancer.

My original target amount was £500, or €569 and US$817 for my German and American visitors (Hello! *waves* Your prescence has been noted and much appreciated). It didn't seem an unreasonable amount at the time. I've raised over that my previous two marathons and I even got close to that for a 5K run. Sadly this year it seems people just aren't willing to part with their money. This saddens me as the cause is very close to my heart.

To feel a little better about this I dropped my target to £262, I figured £10 (€11.37 / $16.35) per mile wasn't an unreasonable amount to be able to raise.

This morning I have nearly reached my target, I am just £17 (€19.33 / $27.79) away from my new goal. This makes me very happy indeed!

So I ask you, dear friend, family member, random stranger from the other side of the world... do you want to sponsor me?
