I'm going to stick this thread in here, MX Fitness and the main MX forums to try and get full coverage.
As many of you know but some won't, my brother is a pretty decent Expert MX-er/Enduro rider and has been around the scene for a while and is a pretty popular bloke around the pits etc - I think our family generally is known to be pretty friendly and the typical MX lot who'll do anything they can to help anybody out, so we're after a favour of our own now.
In November 07 Nige was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and his treatment is pretty full on. He's being treated at Weston Park Cancer Hospital in Sheffield, and as a family we're trying to raise £5,000 in the next 18 months for the hospital's Cancer Appeal. We're doing a series of events and challenges, the first of which is me running the White Peak Marathon in May.
So yes you've guessed it - I'm after sponsorship money. The website is here
www.justgiving.com/nigelsmithappeal
All donations can be made online, are secure and sent electronically to The Weston Park Hospital Cancer Appeal (it works much like PayPal does). If you are a UK taxpayer, they can automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf too, so your donation is worth even more - for every £100 given we can get £128.
So any help (no matter how small) will be GREATLY received, and would mean an awful lot to me, my family and obviously most importantly my brother.
Thank you.
My Sponsorship Page is Done!
