// September 4th, 2008 // Me, NaBloPoMo
Last year, I took part in Yellow Umbrella Day. I was meant to be doing a 5km ‘walk’. ‘Walk’, my ass. As soon as the whistle blew, everyone began running. Now, I’m quite unfit, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Walking 5km is easy peasy, lemon squeezy. But RUNNING 5km? Uh, NO. Puffing and panting my way towards the finish line, I got overtaken by many people, including 5 year old kids and mums pushing buggies. Hmph.
So, why am I doing it again this year? I would like to be one of those generous people who say they’re doing it for the charity, but that sadly isn’t true. To be honest, what made me sign up this year was the thought, “I WILL finish before a 6 year old kid this year! I must!”
I may also be ‘walking’ with @JohanYugen for this year’s YUD. Note to self: Try to outrun him. 
If you’d like to sponsor me (Translation: SPONSOR ME, DAMN IT!) then you can do so here, here and here.
The Kids’ Cookery School
The Log Cabin
The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice
My overall target is £100, and all the money I raise offline will be split between these charities (the pages each have a target of £33.35). If you donate, please split your donation between the three pages.
For example, if your overall donation was ¬¨¬£10 *coughs* – If 10 people gave me ¬¨¬£10, I’d reach my target in no time – then you’d give ¬¨¬£3.33 to each page.
Anyway, enough of my whining. Please sponsor me, and I’ll give you glomps and cookies if you do!
