Default Another begging post

Guys,

I know we all do our bit for charity and have supported other members on their quest to raise funds, but it's my turn to go begging for cash.

I've decided to drag my backside around the streets of Glasgow on the 5th of September on the Great Scottish Run (OK I'm only doing the 10K, not the half-marathon, but it's better than nowt!) aiming to beat the time I set 6 years ago when I was but a boy

Given that I couldn't decide which charity to raise money for and that the A8OC's preferred charity is Help for Heroes, they have been chosen as the charity I'll support this year. If you could all donate a few quid (and those of you that can, add gift aid as it gives 28% more to charity for no impact on your pocket) we can raise a significant sum to help the lives of those who have risked and nearly lost theirs on our behalf.

Donation Link: http://www.justgiving.com/Richard-Hogg

Any donations are greatly appreciated by myself and HfH.

Seeing as it's payday (or thereabouts for most of us) and the run is next week... A friendly wee bump.
