Amy Tomkins: Royal Parks Half Marathon

Last year I was encouraged / cajoled to run a half marathon ... and, unbelievably to me (those who remember my lack of sporting ability at school will appreciate this) it was a brilliant experience. Running through the Wiltshire countryside in torrential rain on a cold Sunday in October was surprisingly enjoyable. So this year, I've decided to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 9th, hopefully in glorious sunshine.

So yes, I'm asking you to sponsor me... But no, I'm not asking you to give me your change: I'm asking you to create change.

All you need to do is follow the instructions on the right, browse the DoActions and find one (or more) that suits you, then make your pledge(s).

Some will be really easy, others take a bit more effort. But they've all got an environmental focus and the currency is CO2 - The DoNation calculates these savings and donates them to me, publishing your pledges here on my page.

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. At the end of the two months you'll be asked how you got on, and at that point your donation is confirmed.

So please, get doing!

Thank you!
