Please sponsor my 31km run and help children

I will run, you can help.It’s been a bit quiet recently on my blog as I was busy with my new job but mainly because I was preparing to couple of runs which I was planning for long time. Tomorrow, on August 31, 2008 I will be running 10km as part of The Human Race. On October 12, 2008, I will be running The Royal Parks Half Marathon as a member of The Starfish Greathearts Foundation, a development charity, aiming to bring life, hope and opportunity to children in South Africa, who have been orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS.

I usually don’t do that but this time I would like to ask you for your financial support and I am inviting you to join me in this effort to help improve the lives of children by raising £500 for The Starfish Charity.

I set up a fund raising site on Justgiving which makes donating quick, easy and totally secure. I put also a widget on the right side of this blog so you can see the fundrising progress. I will be posting updates on my training and results as always to my Twitter and Flickr streams.

I am really nervous if I can raise so much as it is my first such effort. However I know that I can count on you!

    Couldn’t help but think of this mate… going to need a montage!

    The day is approaching to give your best
    That’s when you need to put yourself to the test
    And show us the passage of time

    We’re gonna need a montage (Montage)
    A sports-training montage (Montage)
    Remind everyone what’s goin’ on (What’s goin’ on?)
    And with every shot show a little improvement
    To show it won’t take too long

    That’s called a montage (Montage)
    Even Rocky had a montage (Montage)
    In any sport, if you want to go
    From just a beginner to a pro
    You’ll need a montage (Montage)
    A simple little montage (Montage)

    Always fade out (Montage)
    Into a montage (Montage)
    If you fade out it seems like a long time (Montage) has passed in a montage (Montage)
    Montage (Montage)
