Dear friends,
I am sorry to do this to you with a credit crunch looming: your investments are giving a crap return, you lost your nest egg in Icesave, your flat isn't worth the appliances in your kitchen, and with euro parity threatening the winter skiing trip is going to cost a fortune.
It's Christmas, the largest shopping centre in Europe is begging to be visited and now, now Kate Rawson (she hasn't called for years...) is asking for sponsorship.
Take pity: she set up her justgiving page at the end of last week, promptly went out for a training run, and twisted her knee on cobbles. Lacking money/mobile/oyster card/common sense she vandalised a public payphone after it refused to reverse the charges to the only mobile number she knew off by heart.
She considered hitching, her request to use a stranger's phone was ignored by 3 nannies (this was on the Barnes/Sheen border). It was getting dark and cold.
Then inspiration came, Barnes/Sheen, Barnes/Sheen, doesn't a guardian angel live nearby? 30 minutes’ chilly walk later, fortune smiled and the angel friend was in!
But the damage had been done. 24 long hours of shivering, sweating, fainting, moaning influenza ensued and now she has lost her voice from coughing up bile.
Another training run is scheduled for friday. It will avoid cobbles. And money/mobile/oyster card will be coming too.
I know this is bad timing but I took a gamble on Christmas Spirit beating the need to buy presents...the marathon isn't until april so I will be sending plenty more begging emails before then!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your fiver will be greatly appreciated and make all the difference. And please feel free to forward the Just Giving address to anyone you think may want to sponsor me!
