Kirsty: Running the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2011

on 09 Oct 2011 in The pretty parks in London

So...I'm running a half marathon and thought it would be ace to give you all the chance to sponsor me in saving Co2.

As you know Co2 and I go way back. And it has been a rocky ride. I have to admit, there are things that I do appreciate about Co2 (I really find it hard to give up cheese even though I know that it makes my carbon footprint HUGE)

and there are things I hate about Co2 (like meeting people who are losing their homes because of sea level rise or drought).

So I thought why not invite my friends to think about their relationship with this peculiar little gas and see if they could give up something in return for me running around the parks in London.

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!

Kirsty
