Title: Looking for sponsorship, London Marathon
Post by: wipass on March 01, 2005, 03:21:28 AM

skuzzy, hope this post is ok here ?



Hi,

I am running the London Marathon on April the 17th in aid of the  King George Fund for Sailors.   http://www.kgfs.org.uk/

I am looking for kind hearted generous people (aren't we all) who are able to sponsor myself  for  any amount at all.

Considering that I am about 30 pounds over my "fighting weight" it's been a tough few months training so far, but by April 17th I should be in reasonable shape.

You are able to sponsor online at

Thanks in anticipation.

On your way home from London, stop by and collect your beer glass!

You're welcome, or "Alstublieft" - as we had to say over the weekend at the con.

It's too late to change my training style now, I'm 45  and have been running  for nearly 29 years, This will probably be my last  run though  as the knees creak and the body is now unwilling to assist.

Paul,

I dream of completing a Marathon in 3:40, that is a great effort.
