Running first marathon and no name on charity vest - what else can I do?

In two weeks time I am running Brighton marathon for MS Society. I have received my vest but there is no space for a name on it and they haven't sent me any letters to iron on. I've looked at an example Brighton marathon bib and they don't have a name on them either.
I was really relying on the support of the crowds to shout my name and now I'm disappointed. Does anybody have any good ideas?
Obviously I could buy and iron on the letters anyway but the design of the T-shirt really doesn't leave a decent space for them where they would be readable.
I'm really baffled by the t-shirt design and why they wouldn't leave space. When I ran for the Stroke Association there was a white stripe for a name and I thought that would be standard.
TIA

I did my first marathon with my name on and I found it quite distracting.
It's your training that gets you round - not random people shouting at you.
You could always write your name on paper and laminate it and pin it over the teeshirt. It's not like they won't make out the design without it.
