Monty's Marathon
Hi!
I'm raising money for the British Red Cross. They do amazing work and it's an honour to attempt to stagger 26 little miles to help raise money for them.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to The British Red Cross.
Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
You can follow my "progress" on twitter (@montyenglish) and on my blog. Alternatively check the obituraries column of the The Times on a weekly basis.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate all your support. Infact, I can't do this without your support - so a massive thank you to you all.
More than that, the British Red Cross is enormously grateful for your donation - it means they can carry on doing the work they are so urgently needed for. Literally, every pound makes a difference.
£5 - for example, could provide water purification tablets for 60 people.
£50 - could provide seeds and fertiliser for ten families to grow enough food for a whole year!!
£150 - could buy a wheelchair for our medical loan service, here in the UK.
Every pound you give really makes a difference.
Thank you.
