Hey there everyone,

As many of you who follow my Twitter feed know, this coming Sunday, October 11, I am going to be competing in the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London (UK).

I’m running for Book Aid International, a charity which, as a Leaky Staffer, has grown very close to my heart over recent years, so when I was looking for a charity to run for, this was always the obvious choice.

Now I know that in the current economic climate, people may not be as disposed to give money to charity, preferring to keep it close to them - understandable of course.

But if you can give as little as £1 ($1.60) to the cause, it would be hugely appreciated.

To put that in context: When you go to treat yourself to say…a bottle of coke from the vending machine today, or a cup of coffee, save that pound coin and instead give it to Book Aid International. That’s all it would take to change the lives of so many in the 3rd world.

We all came togeter because of a love of literature, now, lets help share that love with people who otherwise simply would not have access to it.

I know not everyone can sponsor me, and I completely understand, but if you would like to sponsor me, you can do so at my official charity page here:

This is completely secure, and the money goes DIRECTLY to the charity, rather than through me, so you have total peace of mind that every penny you donate is going to help Book Aid!!

If you’re in the UK remember to tick the Gift Aid box. If you do, the tax man will give Book Aid 28% extra on what you donate, without costing you as much as 1 penny more, so thats an extra 28p in every £1 you are able to sponsor me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and well…wish me luck. This is my first long distance run, and while I know it’s going to be SO hard, I remember that I’m doing it for a good cause: Now I just need you to make sure I have a great reason to be doing it, so please: DONATE DONATE DONATE, and give whatever you can!

Thank you
