Sponsor me and I’ll do another marathon a much harder marathon

Ok before I start this blog I want to put it out there that I HATE musicals. I mean I really really HATE them. For anyone who doesn’t know in April I will be taking part in the London Marathon and I’m hoping to raise £450 for the spinal injuries charity Aspire. As I hammered pretty much everyone I know for sponsorship last year when I did the 2k outdoor swim I know trying to raise funds again this year is going to be hard. In-fact I think it might be just as hard trying to raise the money as doing the 26 miles itself.

So I’ve been thinking and I’ve decided to do another marathon if I reach my £450 fundraising target. This marathon will not be a 26 mile effort but something much much harder. That’s right if I raise £450 I promise to sit through a musical marathon of films. That’s right if I reach my fundraising target I will make a commitment now to watch Annie, West Side Story, Oliver and the Wizard of Oz back to back.

I cannot get across just how much the prospect of that fills me with fear and loathing. I really hate musicals and any film that involves cute kids singing usually makes me want to gouge my own eyes out. I think the picture above may be a fair reflection of what I might look like at the end of the musical marathon of mayhem. So go ahead and sponsor me and I’ll live blog what will be one of the most painful events of my life www.justgiving.com/rockupandroll1.

Oh and as an extra incentive everyone who sponsors me will also get entered into a prize draw. The first name out the hat will get £20 Amazon vouchers and the second name will get £10 iTunes vouchers.
