I have just sponsored you

Thank you!

but in return I expect you to run round the course wearing a judge's wig and robes.

No thank you! :-P

(One of my colleagues says she'll double her (£5) donation if I run in a badger suit -- I'd gladly pay several times that not to run 10k in a badger suit.)

she just stuck the link in her email signature

Oh, that would've been sensible, yes. Bit late now though. :-}

if all the people who participated (including the organisation team) just dipped their hands in their pockets

Yeah. I like to hope that the sponsored events persuade some people who otherwise wouldn't give, or persuade people to give to a charity they wouldn't otherwise have given to because it's lower down their list, but I'm not convinced they work very well -- OTOH I guess MD is further down my list than the charities I already have standing orders to (or give time to), so I suppose the race at least gets me to give them some money that I wouldn't otherwise give ...
