Hey everyone... I need a little favour from every BC'er who has a little generous spirit!

In April, I'm running the London Marathon for charity - Macmillan Cancer support to be more precise.

Running 26 miles is going to be quite a challenge for a slightly tubby bass player from Norfolk country and I'm looking for all the generous spirited bass players who would be willing to spare / sponsor a few measly pounds for a very worthwhile charity - one very close to my own heart.
I'm pretty sure we all know someone who has either directly or indirectly affected by Cancer and Macmillan provide essential support to those in need.

Anyway - I know many of you don't know me directly but I have dealt with many kind folk here on Basschat so some of you might remember me. I'm not asking for a lot - a couple of quid, a fiver or whatever you can spare would be very much appreciated in my quest to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan.

My VirginMoney just giving page is here:

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]I can't offer anything in return apart from my wholehearted gratitude - if I can repay the favour with a dep gig for free (travelling within reason!) then I will do my best![/color][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]If you don't feel like sponsoring - I completely understand - feel free to leave a message instead![/color][/font]

I'm in - Good luck Carl. Presumably you're running dressed as a bass guitar??

I don't think Macmillan would go for it but I reckon it would raise a few eyebrows!!
Thanks for the donation!!

+1 because international money transfers are way too heavy on fees

Hi guys,
Thanks for your generousity in advance. It does seem that the PayPal link is not working on mobile devices for some reason... it's a PayPal thing I think - I just tried the link on my PC and it works fine... can you get to a pc to donate??
If not... I know it's not the best option, but you can PayPal gift me the money and I will add it to the site in your name... my PayPal email is
[email protected]
If u would like to use that option. Sorry for the issue - out of my control I'm afraid...
Regards, Carl.
