London Marathon April 13

[bondolah]

Hi All,

I'm running in the London Marathon next month (without the banjo!) and wondered if anybody fancied sponsoring me.

I'm running for the Scientific Exploration Society, who do a lot of good community aid work overseas. Check out their website for more info: www.ses-explore.org/

If you feel you can spare a few pence it would be very gratefully received! I have a justgiving site that you can access here:

Many thanks in advance for any support you guys can give!
Cheers
Steve

I might be able to manage a couple of quid, it won't be much tho, and good luck steve.

Sorry, I have no idea what this means: Will the money go to "Scientific Exploration Society" or to Steve?

[Danny]

to the society, Steve's running to raise money for the Charity

[Wolfgang]

That´s worth at least one karma
and a couple of quid (if quid is what I guess)

[Danny]

Quid is a slang term for pound, so a couple of quid is a couple of pounds

[bondolah]

Yeah - the charity gets all the money...I get all the blisters!

I did manage to complete the Marathon, but not in the time or condition I expected.

I got some sort of weird food poisoning on the way back from Ghana on the Friday...both ends uncorked when I got home and I was dragged out of a pool of my own mess to London. Could barely eat a thing on Saturday and still needed immodium on race day. Shouldn't have run and it was bloody stupid, but had charity commitments. First 20 miles were ok, last 6 were an absolute shambles... did 4hrs 25mins - not happy but that will have to do. The running's been a mess since then and I'm just getting myself back together on that front. Thanks to everyone who sponsored me!

Well done Stevieboy. Sorry I couldn't sfford a few quid for a good cause, but fingers x'ed for next year ay?
