“I work for Erskine Design in Nottingham. Which is nice. You've got choices, you can visit my homepage, take a look at the available downloads or view the blog archives. Please contact me whenever you like. Also, why not subscribe to the RSS feed.”
I am running the Nottingham marathon in September `08. You can sponsor me. Proceeds go to Epilepsy Action.
I'm running the Nottingham Robin Hood Marathon on September 14th 2008, and I hope you don't mind if hassle you for a bit of sponsorship.
As you may know my older sister Karen died three years ago as the result of an epileptic seizure, it stands to reason then that I am collecting money for Epilepsy Action.
"Epilepsy Action is the largest member-led epilepsy organisation in Britain, acting as the voice for the UK's estimated 456,000 people with epilepsy, as well as their friends, families, carers, health professionals and the many other people on whose lives the condition has an impact."
It's a great charity and your money will be well spent. You can donate easily online at my just giving page.
The Marathon consists of 26 miles around Nottingham. It's a long way but hopefully the training I've done will get me round. More information about the run can be found here.
I have been training hard and I'm looking forward to it. I have never ran anything like that distance before so anything could happen. I'll keep you updated right here!.
Thanks for reading.

I can only echo Alex’s comment.

Sounds like a very worthy cause so I may be able to put aside a few beer tokens and contribute to the fund raising.
With all this training you should be able to put together a pretty handy duathlon time by now so maybe that should be the next challenge.
Good luck with the training and hope the race goes well.
