Running for children
I blogged a while ago that I have become a member of Running for Children, an organisation associated to Unicef. The idea is to find sponsors for runs we participate in and thus raise money for Unicef projects.
I am dedicating the London marathon 2007 to "Running for Children" and I promise to run my little heart out for everyone who donates something to this project! I cannot promise a personal best after only four weeks of proper training, but I will do my very best to stay under 5 hours.
Fundraising is very popular in the UK, but something relatively new here in Germany and something like Just Giving for UK registered charities, does not exist for German ones. Therefore, if you would like to sponsor me, please make a bank transfer to the following account:
Running for Children e.V.
Commerzbank Berlin
BLZ/Bank code: 100 400 00
Kto/Account no.: 441 441 3
The reason for transfer should be: "Member no. 217 London marathon". If you also state your full address and donate at least than 25 Euros, you will automatically receive a donation receipt for Mr Taxman.
If you live in the UK and would like to sponsor me, I have a Barclays bank account that can be used. Of course, I will transfer the equivalent amount you donate to the "Running for Children" account and sent you a proof of payment. Please contact me for details: sabine1302 @ unterderbruecke.de (I am putting blanks in, because I receive enough spam email already).

Hi Sabine,
it's great what you are doing. Additionally to the transfer I made I would like to pledge 1 Euro for every minute you finish below 5 hours. Not that I feel you have to be motivated ... I know you are!
Good luck and have fun!
Uli
Good luck - you're doing a wonderful thing.
Thank you, chiefbiscuit! At least now I have an answer, when I ask myself "why the &%ยง$ am I doing this?".
Thank you very much, Uli! That is very generous and of course I will do everything I can to make it very expensive for you! :-) See you on Friday, we are in the same hotel again. Do not leave for the marathon expo without me.
Sabine
