| Nearly $2000 of Leon Paul prizes to be won.
Hi forum members...
Leon Paul are giving away lots of free kit to raise money for charity.
I am running the London Marathon on the 22nd of April and to help raise money we are giving away lots of kit in a raffle. In order to be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is visit http://www.bmycharity.com/alexpaul and click donate now to make a donation.
Prizes are as follows:
1st: Value £890 ($1750) A voucher for £200 and a complete FIE scoring set!
2nd: A pair of our brand new 350N tracksuit trousers. See http://www.leonpaul.com/acatalog/350..._Trousers.html
3rd: One of our brand new Freerunner bags with all the accessories. See: http://www.leonpaul.com/acatalog/Sho..._Cases_44.html
Each £1 you donate will buy you one ticket. Please either put your forum username in the personal message box or if you don't have one make sure you don't check the "I would like to make this donation anonymous" box.
Prizes will be drawn at random on Friday the 27th or April and winners will be anounced on the forum, by e mail and on the LP website.
Good luck and thanks for your support,
Alex Paul |

| I tried, but it wouldn't process my card for security reasons.
I hope you'll be running in those 350 Newton track pants. | |

Good Luck, Alex!!

| Of course LP is breaking US Federal law by doing this and allowing Americans to participate...
(IANAL, etc., etc., but this sure feels like a lottery to me.... While there are steps that can be taken to make charitable lotteries legal, they tend to revolve around specific local licensing and I somehow doubt that LP has taken that step in all of the constituencies where this betting could now take place.)

| the prizes are of course being supplied from my own pocket and are nothing to do with LP! I am giving away my stuff and you chance of winning it is improved by sponsoring me for running 
Thanks for the support everyone.
I just wanted to clarify that most of the donations at the moment are from friends and family who are not entered into the "alex's own personal stuff give away". Your chances of winning are much higher than the overall total suggests. At the moment there is £186 of raffle entries so if you buy £10 you have a 1 in 6.2 chance of winning a prize and a 1 in 18.6 chance of winning £700 worth of stuff. Much better odds than the lottery!! | |

Only 12 hours before Alex starts running (he is hoping to do it in under 4 hours), but you still have a week to sponsor him and give to Charity. | |

| Marathons
I can run 1/2 marathon, with no sweat. But I don't run in competitions, the sheer number of people involved in those things is just unreal. I started to train myself for the Crescent City Classic - a 10K in New Orleans, a while back. I had watched them at the finish line [I was waiting for my then boyfriend to finish and hand him his water], and it looked pretty good, but I chickened out myself - it was the jostling of the elbows that did it for me. In running with very tall elite runners, I noticed a tendancy to get elbowed out of the way, so it doesnt' turn me on. Getting prizes are nice though.
I would love to run a mega marathon, or if I could get back to it, run with a team in a giant loop even if it took a week.  | |
