I must be mad.

I've just paid £26 for the privilege¹ of running² 10km through Manchester City Centre on 21 May.

It's the Great Manchester Run, sponsored by BUPA, and I'll be running² with the Marie Curie team. Possibly foolishly, I've told them I'll be doing it in fancy dress (as an excuse to walk), and on the application form explained that I'll be running² in a corset in "support" of Mum's breast cancer.

As well as that, MC have offered to cover me in daffodils. If anyone wants to sponsor me, I'll be most grateful.


Like I said. I must be mad.

¹ Oooh look, I can spell.
² For "running", read "walking".

I'll sponsor you, definitely. Do you want a cheerleading team to come and shout for you as well?

That could be fun - you can point & laugh if you buy me a beer afterwards!

I'll let you know sponsorship details when I have the form, or you can PayPal me & I'll fill your name in in your absence.

Find the Manchester one & make sure you tick the "Marie Curie" box on the application form.

Seeing you run in a corset would be a great cause to sponsor. :o)
How does this work?

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

I'll get a sponsorship pack through the post soonish. You can send me money via PayPal, a cheque or cash when I see you, and either fill in your name yourself or I'll do it in your absence.

You did see my definition of "running", right?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

If April is OK, I can give you the money when you're down here, otherwise I'll send you a cheque. PayPal would probably incur fees on your part.

Yes. :o)

Got paypal we can donate via? :)

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

I do indeed - shall stick it in a f-locked post, since it's also my hotmail address :)

Yep

[dragonmamma.livejournal.com]

definitely mad, but insanity has to be supported or it might die out, so count me in for a tiny sponsorship (sorry the funds dont stretch to a big one). Will watch your postings for details , but I can always pop across and drop it in sometime. Good Luck and big hugs.

Re: Yep

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) I'll let you know when I have Official Forms & things :)

[kitty-goth.livejournal.com]

Bugger.

That presumably means that you won't be able to attend my 1Eth birthday party on the 20th, then?

Oh well, it's an excellent cause and reason. Do you have a sponsorship page (justgiving, etc) yet?

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Bugger!

Once February's done, I'll be less busy, Then I can come & visit properly, if you like? We can mug each other for sponsorship then ;)

[kitty-goth.livejournal.com]

That sounds splendid.

I am back from Kilimanjaro on the 2nd of March, and am reasonably free until Whitby after that.

When would be good for you?

[twisted-times.livejournal.com]

Chuck me down for a fiver, at least! A wonderful cause!

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Will do, once I get eh official forms & everything! Thanks :)

[rachel1707uk.livejournal.com]

I'd like to sponsor you, I can do it via Paypal but I don't think I'm on your f-list.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure you can see details when I have them! Thanks :)

[elliphant.livejournal.com]

Yep no problem. I'll happily sponsor you. Well done you.

[trashcan17.livejournal.com]

I think a sponsor will be in order and I should be able to get over to Manc for the day ... lets see how many Goffik types in Corsets along the route we can get out to support you and buy you water in the pub afterwards !
