33 Week Challenge Week 12.5: Raise money for charity

Oh hi again. Blogging on a Tuesday! When will the madness end!

No, but I just realised I forgot to mention that to make up for not doing a challenge for Week 11, I actually did two challenges last week. The other one I did was to start raising money for charity. I am doing the Bridge to Brisbane, a 10km run of madness in September, and raising money for The Red Cross at the same time. So this is more a challenge for you than it is for me.

If you go to my fundraiser page you will see that the only person so far who has sponsored me is my mum. I mean, that's pretty excellent of her, but it kind of makes me look like that kid at school who gets their parents to sponsor them multiple times for the fun run under different names so that it looks like they have friends. Actually, I was that kid... except it was for the MS Readathon, because that's how I roll...

So, I would humbly and gratefully ask that if any of you have a little bit of money to donate, to please consider donating it, through me, to the red cross. I estimate I have about 50 regular blog readers, if you all gave $10, I would reach my goal! However, not everyone has dollars, or they do but they're already donating them. I totally get it. I would then hope that I might encourage you to donate blood instead. Maybe make that your own challenge for the month of August. HOWEVER, some people are mad cows, or are gay men, or are needle phobic. I totes understand... I mean I'm not any of those but I get it. In that case, I would ask that you pass my donation page link onto some of your richer friends, pass it around, let's get some donation action happening!

Finally, you'll see that my mum has written "run baby run" in the comment section of her donation. I challenge any donators to write me a fun spin on this eg. "run lizzyish run" "run fatty run" "see Lizzy run" etc... until it makes an amusing Doctor Seuss-esque poem.
