Buddhist Global Relief Fundraising Run 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Wow. Time is passing quickly. I now have four weeks of training time for the 2012 Bristol Half Marathon.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that I injured my knee playing soccer (football) a couple weeks ago.<\/strong> But the good news is that after a week off it was feeling okay again and this last week I managed two good runs and some tennis with friends with no problems.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I\u2019ll do another long run, pushing to 8 miles, or 9 if I\u2019m feeling up to it. With luck, the next 4 weeks will all go well and I\u2019ll have a great race day. But, over those weeks I\u2019ll need your help. I\u2019m running to help raise awareness and funds for Buddhist Global Relief, an amazing organization serving people around the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Buddhist Global Relief is a simply fantastic organization. You can click through my fundraising page<\/a> to find out more about there many \u201cWalk to Feed the Hungry\u201d events \u2013 contribute there, join one near you, or find out about creating your own.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 31% to my goal now, thanks to many<\/strong> wonderful and kind supporters and friends. I need your help though now, to get up to at least 50% in the next 10 days. So please \u2013 make a very small donation. $1 or $2 is great. And you\u2019ll be added to my list of \u2018thank yous\u2019. If you have a cause or website you\u2019d like mentioned, all the better (you can add it in the comment section when you contribute).<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t help financially, please spread the word \u2013 facebook, twitter<\/a>, G+<\/a>, etc. For those in the UK especially, please note Richard Dillon\u2019s event in Yorkshire on the 29th<\/a>. These may be lean times for many of us, but if you visit the webpage for the walks<\/a>, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree that their cause is worthy of whatever we can give.<\/p>\n

My personal thanks to those, including Richard, who have helped out so far:<\/p>\n
