I know that there are other people doing this....
I know that this is probably the wrong bit of the forum to post this on....
I know that people would probably prefer to give their money to the Football Club....
BUT.....
Hello friends, colleagues etc. ,
Apologies for taking your time and I hope you don't mind but I would like to draw your attention to the link below.
www.justgiving.com/philtherefThis is a site I have set up in the hope of gaining some sponsorship for the Great Manchester Run 2009 which I am doing in May this year.
I am running to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.
As some of you may be aware my Mum died just before Christmas. She had been suffering from Pleural Mesothelioma, an asbestos related Cancer of the membrane surrounding the lung.
I promised when Mum was diagnosed, that I would do the Manchester Run in May to raise money for the MacMillan Nurses who were, from the initial diagnosis all the way through absolutely unbelievable offering support which continues to this day (January 15th 2009)
.
I was sort of hoping that she'd still be about to present the cheque after I'd finished the run but it wasn't to be.
However having made this promise I remained determined to raise this money and this week I was lucky enough to get a place in the 2009 Great Manchester Run.
I wonder whether you would consider sponsoring me for this?
Thanks for taking the time to read this
Regards
Phil
Any of you who know how averse I am to running or any other form of physical activity will perhaps get how alien me doing this is. If the moderators/administrators want to move this to another bit then please do so, but at least give me a bit of time to try to generate some sponsorship...PLEASE
