pavey: Brighton half

on 19 Feb 2012 in Brighton

Many of you may know what I feel about running. More of a jogger than a runner…but this year it is time to 'DO it’. And so…February 2012…this Sunday…Brighton half! Yes I love Brighton and the added bonus of fish & chips…but I’m running a half marathon for a reason, the DoNation—a new kind of Sponsorship that replaces cash with action

It is a brilliant idea...I'm not asking you to give me your change: I'm asking you to CREATE CHANGE.

The DoNation is all about creating a more sustainable world, about protecting the environment on which our livelihoods depend. And the environment needs our action more than it needs our cash.

HOW IT WORKS:
Browse the DoActions and find one (or more) that suits you, then make your pledge(s). Some are really easy; others take a bit more effort.

You only pledge to do your chosen action for two months and all the information you need is provided here on The DoNation, making it really easy to complete. You'll receive a few helpful reminders and then at the end of the two months you'll be asked to confirm how you got on.

So please, get doing!

Thank you!!
