London Marathon - got any coppers guv?

My dear, dear friends, how would you like to sponsor a runner in the London Marathon, who has been training very hard for this worthy event for many months. By bunging a noble charity, Leukaemia Research, a coin or two from that pile of dosh that is just gathering dust under your bed it will take a lump out of your mattress and you'll sleep more soundly tonight, guaranteed. Just giving an amount equal to a packet of fags will mount up and 'Leukaemia Research' will be able to claim an extra 28% in tax which will be added to your gift at no cost to you.To get giving and sponsoring our dear daughter copy and paste the address below -- many, many thanks not just from her but also Leukaemia Research!           http://www.justgiving.com/helenmorris2008

Leukemia Research - a noble charity indeed amongst the rank of the top flight and one that has surely paid dividends as by the research they have made so much progress over the years.  A packet of fags worth each - great idea - no idea how much that is as I stopped smoking when they reached 53p for 20 - probably about £5 now.  Regrettably the 28% gift aid goes down from today due to new taxation rates but still a worthy addition.  I will visit the site to sponsor Helen - I hope at least 99 other members of the forum do so too.
