Fund raising

[tomohawk]

hey i am the son of Rachel (blue sparkle) and i am running portsmouth half marathon to raise funds for you guys

the marathon takes place on feburary the 12th starting at the pyramid center at 10:15 (in the morning)

it will be 13 miles of pavement road grass shingle footpath and oh yes some sand as well (muddy sand if its wet)

this is my first half marathon and i have only ever ran road races so the other terains will be .... some what interesting soheres what you can do......

you can indeed sponser me im working on that as we speak (trying to find a sponser site that isnt just for charities with charity numbers but one that accepts organisations/ groups like this one if you know of one please let me know) as soon as i have more info on sponsership i will let you know and come down say hi and make lots of noise as i pass out across the finish line after 13 whats sounds like hard miles of pavement road grass shingle footpath and yes sand/ muddy beach so by the end i will need all the support i can get haha!

Hey as soon as I know I will let you know :)

[tomohawk]

hey guys here is the thread i have started to keep a diary of my training and for any messages of support you may have for myself and ted! http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showthread.php?p=925990#post925990

We looked into setting up NMP on the "Just giving" site but I have to pay £15 a month to join and then they take a percentage of all funds raised.

So what I propose is that we just use my paypal account for any sponsorship money and I will then collate it and let Tom know how much he raised for NMP.

You can donate by clicking on this link:

http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/misc.php?do=donate (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/misc.php?do=donate)

You can enter any amount you want to.

If you do not want to donate by Paypal (this will accept credit cards as well) then please PM me and you can send a cheque if you prefer.

If you do donate please let me know it is for Tom though.

Thanks so much to Tom for doing this for us and Good Luck !!!

Good Luck for Sunday Tom - hope the weather is good for you :yesyes:

[gary_2.0]

Shall be there in person cheering you on Tom - from the pub probably, but it's the thought that counts, plus you and NMP can have £20 of my money just for being crazy enough to leave the starting line, let alone anything else.

Best of luck for tomorrow Tom :yesyes:

[tomohawk]

Ha Gary I would much rather do something crazy leave the start line and know there is a pub at the end. :p

[nomorepanic]

Tom has now done the race in 2 hours 16 minutes.

I will let Tom update us further on the funds raised but thank you so much Tom for this - you are a complete star.

[t0rt01se36]
