I’m sponsoring Dee Kirkham to run her doughnuts off instead! The power of the tweet and
twitter.com was pressed home this morning when a message popped through from Dee about how www.justgiving.com had generated a great response for her sponsored run this coming week in support of the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign. Inspirational Dee is running 10 miles (she’s completed a marathon before, it will be a doddle, right? Not! It’s a tough distance)
Admiration for Dee plus a combination of timing and the content made me click through and add a little support myself. I have been meaning to participate in a charity run myself for about a year, but despite my training efforts (I really have got shin splints, honestly!), I’,m ashamed to say that I still haven’t managed to get to the start line. I was also so really impressed with the JustGiving website and how it offers such a powerful support mechanism to help those wanting to generate sponsorship or gift giving - it makes it so easy to give your support.
So inspirational person +tweet + great website + guilt = donation
A winning formula all round. And if it adds up for me - it should add up for you too, so why not click through directly to
Dee’s sponsorship page by clicking here and offer her a little doughnation of your own?
There, I feel much better, liberated… now pass me that sticky toffee pudding.
