I must make the final payment to the organisers of the race on the 15th December, not long now until this deadline and also the actual race deadline really (April 8 – 18th). Did I mention I’ll be able to keep anyone who sponsors me updated with progress while I am out there? Very exciting stuff!
I am still looking for either 4 businesses who would be interested in sponsoring myself to do this race (The Marathon des Sables – running through the Sahara desert for 6 days, in the main self-supported) £250/each or 5 businesses who feel they can sponsor me £200/each. Again, with the funds to be paid to the race company by 15th December 2015.
Why would you do this?
I am raising money for a local mental health charity, DAMH, Dundee Association for Mental Health. They do a fantastic job of supporting local people with their mental health difficulties here in Dundee with numerous physical activity initiatives as well as for example greenbuds and a befriending service. 1 in 4 of us will suffer from mental health difficulties!
I, myself am a local business woman, I run a personal training business here in Dundee and volunteer with this charity as well. In return I would be open to discussions about how I can promote you and/ or do something for your business. I have run the equivalent of 4 marathons in 4 days previously (2014) down in the Cotswolds, I am not mad enough to do this with no background in distance running. We can make a difference together!
I appreciate all help and support and look forward to hearing from you. You can contact me on 07593257281 or louisept4u@yahoo.co.uk
