Leaflet Campaign for Hastings Half Marathon 2010
Hey everyone, I’ve just included the leaflet campaign I am running and spamming to everyone on route. Inspired by a Simpsons episode with the wanted posters for Lisa Simpson..
≈FREE BEER/WINE≈
Okay, now that I have your attention… I’m known as Radderz; I hope you don’t mind me spamming you with this leaflet, if nothing else it can be a causal read for a moment or two.
I’m involved in a cause which means a great deal to me; both friends and family of mine have been affected one way or another by domestic violence. I’m trying to help repay the invaluable support received through Woman’s Aid by running the Hastings Half Marathon, ensuring money remains available for others who require that same delicate support in escaping the dangerous situations they face, in many cases keeping their kids out of harms way too.
Before you grumble at another person asking for yet more money out of your wallet (actually, no, grumble away, I don’t really like them either!), I’m not insisting that you help me out, I’m quite happy if you just chuck this away like most people, however a small donation of a pound or two would be enormously appreciated. You seriously would have no idea how grateful the received support is unless you’ve been in situations of similar consequence, and hopefully by poking random peeps for tiny amounts while keeping up my training, I can raise the targets required to help out people where it’s needed. (More info can be found on my blog below, I’ll keep this up to date with my progress. Again, if it’s used for nothing else, it is a light read. Feel free to post comments though! 
I started training this side of Christmas having never been a runner before; exercise wasn’t my thing in any form except good intentions and pointless gym bills. However I’m doing quite well for the minute, running in excess of 10 miles every couple of days without experiencing that tired/shattered/nauseous/leg falling off feeling the next day; I thought that was a big milestone personally!
Whenever I can, I can be found doing a lap around Bewl Water, for the moment it’s left to weekends, but am going to try for the dreaded mornings before work in the weeks leading up. It’s currently 13 miles of muddiness this time of year, and quite often involves rain at some point. Why on earth don’t they host marathons in the summer/autumn?!?
Anyway, I’ve run out of room now, but thanks for listening!
If you can donate: (I’m after small gifts but lots of them, so plz don’t feel stingy giving small)
