London Legal walk raises £310k for advice centres

It gets worse! Further to the last poster, I was recently called by my student Godson and asked to contribute towards a sponsored walk HE was doing... in China! In order to qualify he had to raise £3,500 or more for a charity I won't name here. Assuming that at least half of that will have gone on getting the young man to the Great Wall then feeding him for two weeks, I am in effect being asked to sponsor him to go on holiday, then to contribute the same amount again to fund the holiday itself. At least if I sponsored the poster below all the money would actually go to cancer awareness - he wouldn't also ask me to pay his beer and electricity bills...
