Sponsorship We have decided to raise money for three charities as an incentive to complete this marathon: Rowans Hospice. The Rowans Hospice provides specialist palliative care within the hospice for people with illnesses which no longer respond to curative treatment. British Lung Foundation. The British Lung Foundation provide services and undertake research for lung-related illnesses. We are raising money for research into Pulmonary Fibrosis (Fibrosing Alveolitis), a rare lung disease. RNLI. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is a charity that provides a 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK. It is supported entirely from voluntary donations. If you’d like to know more about why we have chosen these charities please feel free to contact us. Charity Donations Please help us to make this event a success by supporting our charities, which you can do in any of three ways: Web-based donations ‘JustGiving.com’ provides this service. They reclaim 28% UK tax on your donation (if you are a UK taxpayer) and then pay the money directly to the selected charity. They do make a charge for administration. We have set up an account for each of the three charities and you can to give to whichever you want. Optionally you can choose to “Sponsor Now” (immediate donation) or “Pay on Completion”, (pledge to pay). In the latter case your donation will be processed up to two weeks after we complete the marathon. • Donate to Rowans Hospice • Donate to British Lung Foundation • Donate to RNLI Pledges by email.
