Not sure how this works for the PPRUNE side of things (whether they'd need to be a registered charity?? I don't know). This site lets you set up a website for all your sponsors to pledge thier money - with their credit cards. Also it has the added bonus of donating an extra 28p for every pound pledged as they site automatically cliams the tax back.

Jacko, we are not a registered charity so we cannot do it. As we are is fine until something else is arranged - but there is nothing planned for the near future.
So, are there more people to give support to Blindside in his Marathon run? I would love to see it up to a £1000 - that would be terrific.
Go for it, go on!
Good luck Rob.

It's gonna hurt!
cheers for the support - moral and financial.
It's going to be an absolute nightmare as I knackered my back 3 weeks ago and was unable to train for 2 weeks and I've not wanted to risk damaging it by running this week. So I'm about 1/2 a stone heavier than I wanted to be and nowhere near as fit. Oh dear.
The plan is to get to Tower Bridge (13 miles) and hang on, whilst feeling very sorry for myself.
Pass me the bananas.
cheers

Who needs 10 toe nails anyway?
Never again.
I'll definitely lose 6 toe nails, maybe more. My feet look like they've got frostbite.
Despite being well beaten by Charlie Dimmock and finishing 2 1/2 hrs behind Paula Radcliffe, I am dead chuffed with my time.
The spilt times are shown below (please take into consideration that I am at least 16 stone and addicted to chicken bhunas). Also, I couldn't train for the 3 weeks prior to the race due to a back injury.
I was going well until 21/22 miles, averaging 10 minute mile pace, then the wheels fell off in spectacular style. My hips went which caused me huge problems and my calves went into spasm, so I basically crawled the last 5 miles, crossing the line with the doctor out of Eastenders (so I've been told).
Further confirmation can be found at london-marathon.co.uk or in the Times tomorrow. I'll post the official photos when they arrive in the mail. Incidentally, I did get on the telly behind a fella dressed as Spiderman on Tower Bridge - my mother was very impressed.
I'm sure that IFR will spend the money wisely, thanks for the support.
Could all the generous sponsors please:
SEND YOUR CHEQUE FOR THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT - MADE OUT TO THE PPRuNe FUND AND SEND TO: IFR, 5 STATION APPROACH, BELMONT, SURREY SM2 6BW.
Please include your PPRuNe name somewhere in the envelope so that IFR knows who has paid.
I'll email all the sponsors to doubly ensure they get all the details.
Of course, if anybody else wishes to donate they are more than welcome to.
cheers again.

Well done Mr. Byers!!
If you're up for a bit of blackmail, you could threaten to post pictures of your feet - unless people donate a load more cash.

Well done. I watched a little on Sunday - there was a lot of pain going on there. Hell of an achievement BS. I'll chuck in another £1 a toe.
On a side note, IFR - can we pay direct to the fund with our name as reference? If so could you send me the bacs details. Ta.
