<p>This post is of a rarely personal nature and only a stub for the <a href="http://www.nicksmith.co.uk/blog/marathon/">main message</a>. I&#8217;m hoping to point people there over the coming months.</p>
<p>Friends, family and other interested people &#8211; I&#8217;m running the <a href="http://www.london-marathon.co.uk">London Marathon 2008</a> and I&#8217;d appreciate your help. I&#8217;m aiming to raise money for <a href="http://www.wateraid.org/">WaterAid</a>. This charity helps to provide clean drinking water and sanitation to the &#8216;<a href="http://www.wateraid.org/international/what_we_do/the_need/6067.asp">over a billion people</a>&#8216; who don&#8217;t already have it. The charity itself was also awarded &#8220;Britain&#8217;s most Admired Charity&#8221; in 2006 (according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaterAid" title="WaterAid page on Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a>).</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s a worthy cause and a worthy charity and I hope you&#8217;ll agree. Whether you know me or not, you can use this as an excuse to donate as everything you pledge goes straight to the charity through my <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/nicksmithrun/">online donation page</a>. I&#8217;ll be leaving a link to the details on the homepage of my site so there&#8217;s no excuse, any amount will help. You&#8217;ll also make the gruelling 26.2 miles all the more enjoyable! Thanks :)</p>
