Hello!!!
didnt get a ballot place but had told all and sundry that i would run it whatever it took so applied to every charity and i was lucky to get a place with a charity called PhabKids i say lucky because there are no fees to pay up front and they asked for a fairly small amount of money to be raised compared to other charities.
i need ideas. so far i have set up a justgiving page and i have buckets round work but i dont know about anyone else but its pretty stressful knowing that if i dont get this money i cant run!
Bake some yummie cakes and sell them at work. My friend did it and it worked very well. Good luck with your efforts!
ohh that sounds a fab idea im sure the girls in the office will be well up for making me some cakes to sell
thanx x
It's you who's supposed to be making them and selling! Lol Love it. You're not only going to make your friends make them for you but then get them to buy them as well. The best fundraising idea I've heard!
ha well you know you dont get unless you ask and i am still in the betty crocker school of baking adding egg and water is pretty much all i can do!
yeah great idea cougie will check their website
Considering the fact that you have no interest in the charity other than it was randomly the one that offered you a place, why bother? You could just enter another marathon and save all the hassle...........

My idea would be to shut your just giving page down and use another service as they will increase the amount of money which reaches the charity. Just giving are a profit making business who charge charitys a monthly fee to use their service. They also charge for processing gift aid.
There are other services which do not do this which means the cause you are raising money for gets more of it. virginmoneygiving.com is one such example
A good comparison of such services in the UK can be found at the following URL http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/about-us/how-we-compare.jsp
fair comments PRF and Cougie but yeah at the end of the day i havent done no more or no less than anyone else that really really wants to run london and surely does it really matter if i do not have a heartfelt reson to run for particular charities just the fact that i can raise nearly 2grand for them is good enough? charities will not know every single runner personally by name either at least they get their money
and seriously i can not bake cakes but i will put every effort into selling them

I agree. At the end of the day it's a win win situation for you and for the charity. All the best.
And for those people who are paying for your place?!?
