Considering doing the usual sponsorship procedure for this cluster of half marathons all in one
High Wycombe
Burnham Beeches
Henley
Marlow
Just not sure which is the best charity to raise for, to extract the most money from the corporate suits around my company.Any suggestions?
Anyone got any tales of past multi event sponsorship events spread over months?One injury would wreck the whole deal, but anyone can do one half marathon but 4 in 5 months is 1% more tricky!!

Have you got a local hospice or hospital you can raise money for?
Good luck! This sponsorhsip business is hard work.
Why are you seeking sponsorship?
The sponsorship was some last minute idea to benefit some random charity!!!!
Stevie G,
I did the great south run this year for the British Limbless Ex-Service Mens Association. They spend very little on advertsing but are a worthy cause. They send great information packs and letters you can show people and the running vest it good quality. They do alot of research into prosthetics and receive no Government funding.
They look after those that not only lose limbs but lose the use of a limb, they also look after those that have lost eyesight. I dont know if you saw the programme wounded which followed the stories of two guys who lost limbs, the one that lost 3 limbs has already been taken skiing by BLESMA.
For example £25 will pay for the welfare officer they need to visit them to give them vital information and support, especially for finances as the best people to give advice are those that have gone through what that person is going through. £50 would pay for a ski bob, even the most severley disabled can go skiing,
I was really pleased picked this charity and because of all the people coming back from conflicts with limbs missing I found that the people I worked with dug deep for me,

Don't bother, Zoe.
