Bubsa Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Now, for those of you haven't been on my website (and why the smeg not!) you may not have heard about what I've been training for since November last year. That's right, I, Tom "Bubsa" Roberts, am running the Flora London Marathon for Oxfam!! Dun dun DUN!!! After last year's super mega ultra MakePovertyHistory campaign I just didn't want to stop. I wanted to keep on going and help make a difference. So, I decided to do so in the best way I know how; to humiliate myself publically! Now, while me attempting to run 26.2 miles is hilarious and humiliating enough, I'll also be achieving this feat in fancy dress. By dress...there's not much "dressing" to it. Brace yourselves, for I am running the marathon as: PARTY BOY!!! Dun dun DUN!!! Oh yes, if dehydration doesn't get me, the police will! I'll be dancing my way over the everlasting course wearing nothing but a leather skin thong and a smile! "But Bubsa!", I hear you ask, "Why tell us this funny yet pointless information?" Well, truth be told tip.it, I NEED YOUR HELP!! I need any pledge you can muster to help me raise ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2000+ for the people at Oxfam. These people do a miraculous job in helping the Third World in, most importantly, helping them to help themselves. Oxfam works with others to find lasting solutions to poverty and suffering. Oxfam believes that in a world rich in resources, poverty is not a fact of life but an injustice which can be overcome. For example, is it right that in the 21st century: at least a quarter of the world's population lives in severe poverty at least 12 million children under five die from poverty-related diseases every year about one and a half billion people do not have clean water or basic sanitation Please support me as generously as you can. You will be making a real difference to so many people's lives around the world, easing suffering and giving them the means to help themselves out of poverty. What your money can do: ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã6 can buy 100 school dinners ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã16 can fill a school satchel for a child ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã24 can plant an allotment to provide a family with a livelihood ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã36 can provide a teacher with a teacher packs and guides ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã70 can provide a family with a cow. Cows can fertilise crops, give milk to feed families and to sell. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã100 can buy basic medicines for a village ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã720 can provide safe drinking water for 1000 people ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1200 can buy a farmyard for a village. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2000 can equip a school - providing teacher training, teaching aids and guides, text books, exercise books and pencils. Oxfam is registered charity number 202918. And you, YES YOU!, can help MakePovertyHistory. YOU can make a difference! YOU can save lives! YOU can get your name on a bit of my flesh! Oh, did I not mention?! If you sponsor me, I'm going to write every last person's name on my body for when I run the marathon. It's not about me running, it's about you guys that have sponsored me to do such a thing! Without you, I'd be another schizophrenic in a thong, but with you, we can help save the world! All you have to do is make a donation or pledge and email me, asking which part of my body you would like your name on! You can do so on my efundraiser site here: https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/Bubsa Which also has my email address on it! You can find more info here: http://bubsa.50webs.com/marathon.html Please guys, tell anyone you know, every penny matters, not for me, but for the people in this world that truly need it. Just reading this thread makes me wanna thank you. Anything you donate is a wonderful bonus. Donate now!! You can do so on my efundraiser site here: https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/Bubsa Which also has my email address on it! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Bubsa Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Well, seeing as I won't join the darkzide I'll have to pm you. ;) Dan got it right, the site's only for e-donations. I think I could have entered my real amount though, but I monged up >.< Plus, people who have pledged IRL may want to do it online now so I don't know what my figure will be. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianofrieak2 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Wow, Bubsa, that's really cool! I'm glad that you're doing this. I really respect you for spending your time and effort in running this great marathon. It takes a lot to go out of your comfort zone for others. I salute you and pray for your success to raise money (as well as not dying until the end of the race). You might be receiving something... I'm currently transitioning from a Wizard to a Mage and a Priest to an Archpriest. Lol both are nonexistant in the top 25. Hopefully I can change that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know sometimes the Electron's dont work with online processing thats why we didnt accept that card when i was at Virgin Mobile Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

You too for the thought Daan! :D So yeah, when watching BBC1/BBC2 on that day, look at for someone who appears naked in the crowd, it's probably me. But no RL pics!!!!(!) If the worse does happen and I *gulp* dehydrate and die, I want you all at my funeral. That's right, all! It'll be a party! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
