As a matter of interest, since when has Shelter specialised in helping
underprivileged children, except by the implication of doing what they
can to make decent housing available?

Perhaps God will help you to a 2 hour marathon.
Thanks in Advance on behalf of all the people you may help...
Yeah. Ok. I'll spot you a tenner provided you can show me some
evidence that (a) you've been accepted into the marathon and (b)
you've actually done some training for it.

thanks for the response Therion
a) I need to raise =A31500 to be accepted, I am waiting for the
promotional literature to arrive so that I can
present the facts to businesses around the local industrial estates and
the local press
I only found out about it yesterday and so I can't do much about it at
the moment
but please bear in mind Therion, that the record for fundraising is
around =A31.3 million and I will be trying to beat it...
that is why I am starting early...there are about 33 weeks to go...
b) I have been training on my bike all summer, or walking everywhere
I will start my running training this week by graduating to run to
Darwen Cemetery and back within a fortnight( about 7 miles)
Thanks again Therion for considering...

I started training last night
3 times around Corporation Park, Blackburn
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=368000.079001387&Y=429000.440324535&width=500&height=300&gride=367837.079001387&gridn=429216.440324535&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=GB&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&scale=10000&left.x=6&left.y=95
1) Walk
2) Jog/Walk
3 Jog/walk
I was up at 3:30am this morning - route taken Radio Lancashire, Darwen
Street, Blackburn to Lark Street, Darwen(entrance to Darwen Cemetery)
http://rp.rac.co.uk/routeplanner;jsessionid=7E8889015DEEA6149B1673AA8E9663A8
that is 5.1 miles
I did it in 1h:22m:33s
which is approximately 16 minutes per mile

<monty python>
City Gent: How do you do. I'm a merchant banker.
Mr Ford: How do you do Mr...
City Gent: Er... I forget my name for the moment but I am a merchant
banker.
Mr Ford: Oh. I wondered whether you'd like to contribute to the
orphan's home. (he rattles the tin)
City Gent: Well 1 don't want to show my hand too early, but actually
here at Slater Nazi we are quite keen to get into orphans, you know,
developing market and all that... what son of sum did you have in
mind?
Mr Ford: Well... er... you're a rich man.
City Gent: Yes, 1 am. Yes. Yes, very, very rich. Quite phenomenally
wealthy. Yes, I do own the most startling quantifies of cash. Yes,
quite right... you're rather a smart young lad aren't you. We could do
with somebody like you to feed the pantomime horse. Very smart.
Mr Ford: Thank you, sir.
City Gent: Now, you were saying. I'm very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very rich.
Mr Ford: So er, how about a pound?
City Gent: A pound. Yes, I see. Now this loan would be secured by
the...
Mr Ford: It's not a loan, sir.
City Gent: What?
Mr Ford: It's not a loan.
City Gent: Ah.
Mr Ford: You get one of these, sir. (he gives him a flag)
City Gent: It's a bit small for a share certificate isn't it? Look, I
think I'd better run this over to our legal department. If you could
possibly pop back on Friday.
Mr Ford: Well do you have to do that, couldn't you just give me the
pound?
City Gent: Yes, but you see I don't know what it's for.
Mr Ford: It's for the orphans.
City Gent: Yes?
Mr Ford: It's a gift.
City Gent: A what?
Mr Ford: A gift?
City Gent: Oh a gift!
Mr Ford: Yes.
City Gent: A tax dodge.
Mr Ford: No, no, no, no.
City Gent: No? Well, I'm awfully sorry I don't understand. Can you
just explain exactly what you want.
Mr Ford: Well, I want you to give me a pound, and then I go away and
give it to the orphans.
City Gent: Yes?
Mr Ford: Well, that's it.
City Gent: No, no, no, I don't follow this at all, I mean, I don't
want to seem stupid but it looks to me as though I'm a pound down on
the whole deal.
Mr Ford: Well, yes you are.
City Gent: I am! Well, what is my incentive to give you the pound?
Mr Ford: Well the incentive is - to make the orphans happy.
City Gent: (genuinely puzzled) Happy?... You quite sure you've got
this right?
Mr Ford: Yes, lots of people give me money.
City Gent: What, just like that?
Mr Ford: Yes.
City Gent: Must be sick. I don't suppose you could give me a list of
their names and addresses could you?
Mr Ford: No, I just go up to them in the street and ask.
City Gent: Good lord! That's the most exciting new idea I've heard in
years! It's so simple it's brilliant! Well, if that idea of yours
isn't worth a pound I'd like to know what is. (he takes the tin from
Ford)
Mr Ford: Oh, thank you, sir.
City Gent: The only trouble is, you gave me the idea before I'd given
you the pound. And that's not good business.
Mr Ford: Isn't it?
City Gent: No, I'm afraid it isn't. So, um, off you go. (he pulls a
lever opening a trap door under Ford's feet and Ford falls through
with a yelp) Nice to do business with you.
