Next year I'd like to run the London Marathon for Dave to raise money but im not sure how this works as I'd need a place and im not forced to get accepted into the ballot for a free running spot. I did it last week for the charity whizz kids and raised over 3k and next year want to do it for something closer to home cause wise. Anyone hep on this?
Waddy, its basically as you have said. If you get a ballot place you can run for who you want, however if you dont you are likely to be expected to raise at least 2k for a charity if you get a gold bond place. The only advantage is that if you raise more than the requested amount you could give the rest to a charity of your choice. If you were going to raise the extra for Dave then obviously you would have to speak with him or his family to gain consent and then perhaps set up an official fund raising package with their backing and blessing.
