The British Heart Foundation is one of several charities close to my heart. I can't do much to help the BHF, but I can do a bit. Can you do anything to help them? I ran the Aberystwyth 10K last year and raised some dosh for the BHF. Not much, only a few bob, but then again every little helps. I hope to run the same race this year and try to complete the Cardiff 10K as well.
I don't like asking people to sponsor my running, as things are tight for so many people these days. Asking always seems awkward and intrusive. We all have chosen charities, we all have our own story, and for many people Charity must start at home. That's not them being selfish, that's a case of real need. The local foodbank helps so many people, and foodbank usage across the U.K. is so high, that it's almost a national scandal. Low hours contracts and even zero hours contracts mean that people don't have stability and money is tight. Private landlord rents gave risen, the cost of food has risen, and things are tight for so many people. So if you can help the British Heart Foundation and or the many other charities that are out there, then please do so. But when you do so, please don't leave yourself short.
