My Personal Message

Hello
So, I've decided to run a marathon. I'm not planning to do it very fast but I will do it.

Thanks for stopping by and agreeing to sponsor me. All funds will go to Console, the suicide bereavement and prevention service. It's a very worthy cause.



You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure, as assured as you can be. It's less risky than buying porn, anyway. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, although as it's automatic I suppose it's not exactly from me but, you know. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated, but large donations are appreciated more!

Many thanks in advance

Ed

STOP PRESS

In exchange for wearing a branded top, my sometimes employers, The Carphone Warehouse have agreed to make a donation of £2,000 which is €2,868, which puts me well over my original target! That's pretty sweet I'm sure you'll agree.
