Sometimes people really get on my nerves......



As you probably know, my husband Mike is running the London Marathon to raise money for World Horse Welfare. Someone yesterday told us they couldn't possibly sponsor him as it's "only for horses", not whilst there are "children dying in Africa".

It really, really annoys me when people make such statements without checking out the facts. This person clearly has no idea of what WHW actually does. Mike has blogged about this, far better than I could have, you can read his post here

I just wish I'd been together enough to explain at the time. My excuse is that I'd been out for a little jog up the beach... :)

Did they fill you in on how they are contributing to the children in Africa? They probably mouth off but do nothing there either.

Doesnt matter what you are doing it for, there's always someone who wont agree with it. We do a sponsored walk/run at work every year for children in Africa but I cant get people to sponsor me because they are AIDS orphans...hardly their fault but some people get on their moral highground about things like that too;
