I would like to thank the organisers of Virgin Money Giving for making fundraising alot easier.
Would it be possible to have a shorter web address as this would help when using the likes of Twitter and also for printing purposes.
Hi Gareth,
Thanks for the nice feedback.
http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/GarethERees would work as a short web address for your page. Shortening URL’s further is an area we are keen to look at again as part of our ongoing development.
Best of luck with your fundraising!

I am writing to thank the whole Virgin Money Giving team for thier good work of making fundraising easier. When i was young we had no running water and i used to travel five miles to get it, thats is the reason why am raising money for WaterAids to supports its amazing work.
I work for St Michael’s Hospice in Hereford and wondered whether this Runners Club is only for entrants of the London Marathon, as we organise the Hereford Half Marathon and would love to offer this to our race entrants, too.
Thanks,
Anika (Communications Officer)
Hi Anika
Our Virgin Money Giving runners club is currently just for fundraisers in the 2011 Virgin London Marathon. We’ve started with the London Marathon as Virgin Money is the event sponsor, but we’ve had a several requests to extend it to other events too, which we’ll look into for the future.
