Mr-Paul Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hello! I've been spamming this everywhere else over the internet so why not here as well? I will be running the London Marathon on Sunday 22nd April 2012. Scary stuff. I am running to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, in memory of my uncle who sadly passed away before his time in September 2011. It has always been an ambition of mine to run the marathon, but I did intend on waiting until after I had finished university before applying. However, in a moment of madness, along with some friends, I went ahead and applied lin the ballot last Spring. Surprisingly, I won a place through the ballot, but my friends escaped from the ordeal. Not one to give up, I am going ahead with training for this mammoth task in my last term of uni! I beg of you to please donate whatever you can for this great cause and to support me through the tough times I will face through training and the race itself. The link to donate is: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/paulmuchmore And if you are free and in London, support on the big day would be much appreciated! THANKS!

Mr-Paul Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Bloody hell Dannyboy! What a generous donation. Thank you so much, it really is so so so appreciated and I cannot thank you enough. That money will go a long way to helping those suffering. I must now do you proud when the race day comes! These donations are really helping to motivate me to train harder, so keep them coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ha! Well, I am pretty well off at the moment due to the very generous student benefits in Denmark for people in my situation, so since I can, I want to be generous as well.

Shorty Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Donated Not as well off as Dannyboy alas, but every little etc! Do your best dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far! Received this in an e-mail yesterday, made me chuckle. Apparently I'm now the favourite to win the marathon! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Just a little update, training is going pretty well considering how busy I've been at uni, and I'm running the Milton Keynes half marathon tomorrow. Hoping for a time around 2 hours. Then will push on for the next seven weeks until the big day! If John Bishop can do three marathons in three days, after rowing the channel and cycling 200 miles, I should be able to do one! I've raised almost £400 in online donations so far, please help me push this total even higher with whatever you can afford to donate, it really does motivate me when I receive a donation and is going to a great cause. CLICK ME! THANKS N-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose to donate after I've done it, but in that case I will ask for more off of you :p I don't think I look sad. I look thoughtful! Yesterday I completed the Milton Keynes Half Marathon in a time of 2:01:10, which I was pretty pleased with, considering the wind, rain, and even snow! Was on track to do it under two hours (did the first 6.5miles in 57 mins) but a hilly last mile and horribly blistered feet pushed me just outside of that time. Still, I was pleased with my performance, got very heavy legs now, need to recover and push on towards the big event, 47 days to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
