Personal : Sports Relief - Just a Pound :-)

[garethEds]

Dear Edugeekers,

 

With the keep fit craze taken over my life I'm doing my first organised run next month for Sports Relief. Okay it's only 5K but last October I never thought I'd run that.

 

Anyhow - I've launched my own 'Just a Pound' appeal. Just give £1 to my sponsorship through this website:

 

Sport Relief giving page | Sport Relief 2012

 

Apologies if this is against the rules but I figure as I'm a regular I might as well have a go. Can you imagine if every Edugeeker gave £1?

 

Regards

How's the training going @garethedmondson? Not wrecked by celebrating a Triple Crown win I hope?

[garethEds]

Good thanks @elsiegee40 - I went out for a 10K on Saturday morning. I don't drink that much any more. Had two bottles of Bud during the game. One in the first half and one in the second. Not drank much since October.

 

Otherwise all going good.

 

Have to purchase a new GPS tracker though because my phone is bust.

In a fit of selfish self promotion I'm bumping my own post. Only £23 raised in my quest for £50.

 

Thanks to all who have given. #justapound

I know by thanking everyone I am going to bump my post back to the top. £7 left before I hit my £50 target.

 

The run is on Sunday and after a 5K tomorrow I should be sorted.

 

So thanks everyone so far for their generousity. You have no idea how much it means. It's all going to a good place.

hi Everyone,

 

I've reached my self-imposed sponsorship target so thanks to everyone who donated. You guys are amazing.

 

Now to do the run.

Well done on the sponsorship. Enjoy the run

[rich_tech]

done !

Watching the program - wanted to give a bit more - so here you go.....

[garethEds]

Thanks both. Really appreciated.

 

Anyone else reading this and watching Sport Relief? Donate to my run and give a little. Trust me you will feel good. I ht £50 so now help me raise £100.

 

John Bishop just reduced me and Mrs E to tears. No family should ever have to worry like that. No child should have to worry about dying. Forget that packet of ciggies this week give the £5 to me.

 

Have one less pint. Sponsor me £3.20 instead.

 

Thanks all. After Sunday I will ask no more.

Watching with my teenagers and all 3 with tears in our eyes early on with Billie Piper's film of the kids who'd lost a parent. Top up on way...

[garethEds]

Many thanks. Really appreciated. I'm running for everyone who has donated through me.

 

You should all feel amazing.
