So far I've mainly written about running and physical activities needed for the Marathon, but there is another side to what a lot of people participating in the Flora London Marathon have to take on - and that is the fundraising. We got rejected from the ballot for this year, but got our places through MIND. This was on the proviso of raising £1600. A tall order we thought. Well, as it stands today, we have raised over £5000 between us and tonight we complete this years efforts by holding a club night fundraiser. Since Marathon, this has provided a useful focus for me (check the blue monday? entry) - but bloody heck, talk about exhausting. London has been postered to within an in inch of its life, DJ and Music forums have been spammed, and our poor mates have heard of nothing else.
Here's hoping the hard work has been worth it and we have a nice turnout, fantastic music and everyone has a good time.
