Fund raising help needed

Hi guys I'm running the virgin London marathon 2013 for SSAFA a forces charity. I am planning on setting a new world record by carrying weight on my back and wearing my army uniform. Has anyone got any ideas how I can boost my fund raising as I'm running out of ideas.

many thanks

Hi there, as a fellow forces charity LM13 runner (Soldiers Charity me) just to say that sounds amazing and good fuel for local press coverage at the start of your fund raising campaign. You can find newsdesk number on most local paper websites. I haven't really 'launched' my fundraising drive as it's a way off, but via Twitter and Facebook have started creating interest. Not much but hope it helps a bit.  Also SSAFA should be keen to help you as it's such a special challenge?

I'm a real novice runner so you'll probably finish ahead of me even loaded to the gunwales!

Good luck and keep in touch!

cOOL AND MAD......HAVE YOU TRIED gUINEsS wORLD rECORDS?...i KNOW THEY ARE INVOLVEED WITH VLM so should be a good line of enquiry. Also try the VLM itslef,,,if it's a really good press image for them they will get involved and give you lots of support,. You can only ask. Also write/email to BBC SKY ITV etc, if they pick it up you'll fly...although I still think you're insane..good luck.
