My Personal Message
I run a website on the Camino de Santiago and I come across loads of people who are doing the walk for charity. Not my thing, I just like the walk.
However I do like the idea of raising money for charity – but really I am too busy to go and do any of these crazy things that I see and hear others doing. So this is what I propose:
· I won’t swim the English Chanel
· I won’t help destroy Kilimanjaro
· Everest is safe from me
· Drivers don’t have to worry about my cycling
· I won’t run a marathon
· I won’t have a sponsored silence
· I won’t have a sponsored anything
· I won’t walk long distances for your money – just for fun
· I won’t stop eating or stay awake for 24 hrs
I propose that I do nothing for charity and you just give some money – somewhere around €10, $10, or £10.
Now is that not a better idea than having me risk a heart attack by training for some crazy marathon or some long distance bike ride – this way we all get to do something with no risk to anyone – especially me.
Additionally if this has given you a laugh is that not worth a tenner? Five? One?
Thanks and take care
Leslie
