Title: It's for charidee .... Post by: pauld on Sunday, April 23, 2017, 21:14:35 ... sorry, yet another tedious "middle aged bloke trying to give his running some purpose beyond his ongoing battle with his own belly by doing a charity run" begging thread again. What makes it even worse is I've dragged my dog into it as well, to try to give it some cute appeal (because while I may be called many things, cute is not something I get called often). So we're doing the "Muddy Dog Challenge" in aid of Battersea Dogs' Home in May. Got to be worth coughing up a few quid, if only out of sympathy for the dog
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/PaulAndChoski Thanks in advance for your generosity :) Title: Re: It's for charidee .... Post by: pauld on Sunday, May 14, 2017, 22:02:10 Bump! Just under a week to go, and I've dressed the dog up in the race gear in a desperately cynical attempt to extract a few extra quid in sponsorship with the "Aaaahhh!" factor.
(https://images.jg-cdn.com/image/029e6b18-e872-4ebe-b3a8-f8b8de056602.jpg?template=fundraisingpageupdatephotom) Go on you know you want to..... even if you don't rate Battersea Dogs' Home, this is an opportunity for me to get completely humiliated in mud, and, on past experience, badly injure myself. If that's not worth a few quid, I don't know what is. Title: Re: It's for charidee .... Post by: pauld on Monday, May 22, 2017, 07:24:43 Thanks to everyone who sponsored me and the dog, we completed the Muddy Dog Challenge Saturday lunchtime, great fun and every bit as muddy as advertised. Raised over 300 quid for Battersea Dogs' Home (and still chance to increase that if you're feeling generous - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/PaulAndChoski)

Title: Re: It's for charidee .... Post by: pauld on Monday, May 22, 2017, 08:53:06 No pictures of you having a bath afterwards as well? You'd be astonished how infrequently I'm asked for pictures of me in the bath :) In fact, one work colleague, having seen the photos of the dog in the bath, agreed to sponsor us on the sole condition that I promised there would be no similar photos of me. So I'm sorry to disappoint, horlock, but alas no. Title: Re: It's for charidee .... Post by: brocklesby red on Monday, May 22, 2017, 13:28:14 Well done, just donated 👍
Title: Re: It's for charidee .... Post by: pauld on Monday, May 22, 2017, 13:34:44 Cheers, br, much appreciated!
