Donation Dilemmas

Okay, so the main event is about raising some cash for the Burns Unit next year. The problem is 40 marathons is a wad of cash! Marathons and Ultras in this country range from £10 up to whatever some idiots are prepared to pay for. So lets say even on picking low key at about £20, it means giving £800 to race organisers and not to the cause. Thats not even taking into account accommodation, travel and kit etc. What's the point of raising hopefully 5 to £600 if I've given more to someone else. Daft. Solution? Strip out some races especially the bigger expensive ones instead to be local runs or interesting runs not too far away. Therefore many of the runs noted are around the £10 mark and local or where I have been given free entry, or stunning point to point or circular experiences. That way there is also controllability depending on weekend commitments, weather situations or injury. Bring it on..  80 days to go..
