andygatesI don't usually do the charity fundraiser thing - I'm awfully shy about asking people for cash and it seems rude and slightly weird when I'm having fun. But this Druid Challenge muddy marathon is different - it's keeping me awake with good old existential dread.
So the charity thing is a hook. It's the big ol' "you can't back down now, boy" that's going to keep me going at mile seventeen when the end is still out of sight and the sleet is coming down. Yes, I'm exploiting cute little orphan children to push me to the finish. No, of course I have no morals.
What charity? Red Cross - "unconditional care in a crisis" is as close to universal good guys as you're going to find. www.justgiving.com/andygates.
