Marky The Cancer Champion

That's it, it's official - i'm a Champion. Yes, yes, hold your applause for later. Ok - here's the story.

I'm running the City to Surf, and i'm doing so for two reasons. One, the Engo boys have put up a challenge and I intend to to come out on top. Secondly, it's a good way to fundraise for charity - well in my opinion anyway.

Just so that the boys get their 5 seconds of fame i'll list the Engos competing in this little competition: Jeff,Kieran,Thus,Dinesh, James,Harshu.

As i'm now running to assist in fundraising for the Cancer Council i'd like to ask for sponsors.
You can donate for several reasons, some of which may include:
- Paying to see me attempt to run the 14km
- You're a nice and generous person that wishes to donate to a reputable charity
- I've hassled you too much so you've paid me to get me off your back
One added bonus is that donations to charity are tax-deductible, so for any tight-arses out there, you can actually benefit by donating! Now, whatever the reason, any donations would be greatly appreciated. I promise not to steal any money - you're name goes down on a form so there's no way for me to steal anyway.

The Cancer Council is the leading cancer charity in New South Wales and I believe that they do a very good job - they're the people that organise Daffodil Day, Pink Ribbon Day, and Australia's Biggest Morning Tea. If you want to find more information about the Council with respect to what it does and what it stands for check out the website.

If you wish to donate, please contact me as soon as possible - via email or through the comments. One alternative method of donating is via a secure website: www.cancercouncil.com.au/sponsor - credit card only and use the full name - Mark Homeming. I've already raised $25. $20 dollars from me and $5 courtesy of my lovely sister, Jessica - good on you Jess.

Finally, just as an appreciative gesture i'll post all of the names who have donated in a bog post after the City to Surf. So there's some more incentive for you!
