A Bit of Shameless Self Promotion

Hi All,

As you know I have suffered twice with spinal injuries and have been lucky enough to come through them both, as they could have been far worse and I could be doing this as a wheelchair entrant. (One ending my skydiving and the other being a car accident.)

The Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) have been good enough to give me a Charity Place in this year’s Flora London Marathon, but I have a fundraising target of £1500 as part of the deal to be able to run.

So help me help the kids and all other spinal injury sufferers who ended up far worse than I did by sponsoring me in this year’s Flora London Marathon!

All funds raised will be going to SIA, and all I get is a day in April that will see me run 42.2kms (or 26.2miles in the old measurement) - oh, and maybe a free t-shirt.

To reach my target of £1500 I’m only asking for £10 (or $24-25 Aust), because if I can get this from at least 150 people, then I will be able to run. It’s not much, and I’ll certainly accept anything from you as it all helps, although if you’re willing and able to give more then that’s even better!!

Check out http://www.justgiving.com/aussierunner and you can donate from there.

It's using a credit card, but if you prefer to do an internet banking transfer, just email me and we can do this using my (Australian) bank account - I'll then just transfer the dosh to the UK.

Thanks for your help if you can!!

Simon.
