Merlin's making a fair point. As long as it's a worthy cause (not asthmatic gerbils and the like) everyone I sponsor gets £5; no more, no less. However, if you get a whole bunch of people you know taking part in the same event or it's that charitable time of year (Comic relief, Children in Need, etc) you could end up coughing out a small fortune on 'worthy causes'.
My opinion is that it's the charity you're giving the money to that counts, not the person you're sponsoring. So if I've already pledged £20 to Save the Mongoose I'm not going to sponsor anyone else no matter how much you promise to be my bezzie mate for life/shoot me scornful looks across the office.
