My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

I am running a marathon for the first time in order to raise awareness of and support for the British Red Cross. Living in Sri Lanka, I now have firsthand experience of the valuable work the Red Cross does in very dangerous circumstances. Your support will help their efforts here and around the world where Red Cross staff risk their lives to help those in need.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The British Red Cross Society gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

I am excited and daunted by the challenge of running a marathon, and the training has begun in earnest. I turn 40 the week of the marathon (no! you say), and this is a fantastic way to meet that milestone head on! I hope that you will be able to sponsor me to help me reach my goal of raising £3000 for the British Red Cross.

Many, many thanks!

Chris
