A fundraiser


Recommended Posts

In just under 7 weeks, on March 2nd, I will be taking part in the Reading half marathon raising money for charity.

 

The money that I raise will be split 3 ways:

Slough Town FC,

my local Scout group 1st Lent Rise and Dorney (which I have been associated with for nearly 11 years),

and Cancer Research UK (in memory of my late Physics teacher from school who passed away from terminal cancer late last year).

 

Basically I am looking for sponsors. I would love to raise at least £100 for each charity.

 

People who are in my Facebook contacts have already recieved an invitation to join the sponsorship group. Link here for those who are on Facebook but not on my contact list.

 

Anyone else who wishes to sponsor me can either leave a message on here (if this could be pinned at some point that would be great) or see me on matchdays.

 

I will be hoping to complete the half marathon within 2hr25mins.

 

Many thanks,

 

Dan

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored so far, this forum has produced the best sponsor amount of all my various appeals! Please don't stop there though, the more money I get the more goes to STFC.

 

A note for those who have joined the Facebook group, please don't just join and forget the group, leave a message on the wall with a sponsor amount please. This is the biggest problem with that group!

Bump!

 

I am currently on around £250 in total for sponsorship from this forum, the Facebook group and other people. There is the prospect of more to come and i hope to get over £300 soon.

Thanks to those who have already sponsored but I would love to get more and raise as much money as possible, so if anyone else wishes to sponsor me please do.

Thanks Amber Rebel (even though I'm not sure who you are!).

 

I have been doing a lot of training, i did do a 13.1 mile stretch a couple of weeks back and i have been getting back into training during this week, although I have a bit of a leg injury at the moment.

 

I'm now very close to the £400 mark.

Today I ran the half marathon in 2hours 27mins (unofficial time by my stopwatch) without stopping to walk which was quite surprising for me!

Thanks to everyone for the sponsorship. My total to date is £629, though I hope to raise it further still, so provided I get all the money in the club is due for at least £200.
