Title: sponsorship update
Post by: maddog04 on 17 October 2012, 10:01:42 am
a little while back I asked for sponsors as I was running the Liverpool marathon. I done it on Sunday in 6 hrs 19 mins carrying a 55lb bergen, it was hard as Foc. Would I recommend doing one............yes and no
yes....great cameraderie especially when it gets tough, very humbling seeing all the different charities it really gets you thinking, the outcome for your charity
No..........PAIN (ha ha) the training needed is awesome and time consuming, you need to commit
a few on the site backed me so a big thanks, if you would like to give a bit then you can do it here and read all about it
cheers

Congrats mate, I did one this year (sort of-I found out a week later it was half a mile short) and you're right about the cameraderie, it carried me over the line. Said straight afterwards that I'd never do another one but I've been considering it since the first pint hit my lips  :rolleyes
