Run a TANATHON

Want a tan, but not the potential health problems that go with it? A fake tan is far healthier than hitting the beach or the sunbeds - and now fake tan brand St Tropez has teamed up with Malmaison Hotels and Macmillan Cancer Support to promote responsible tanning through events running up to the end of August 11th.

To support the cause, come to Le Petit Spa at the Birmingham branch of Malmaison hotels. Name your price for a St Tropez spray tan in the mini spa (with a minimum bid of £5 requested) and Malmaison will match your fee with a donation to Macmillan. With every charity spray tan, you'll also receive a free 50ml wash-off tan sample.

Book your charity spray tan in advance by calling 0121 246 5008 and quoting "Macmillan Tanathon". You may feel unable to run a charity marathon - but I reckon most people can participate in a charity tanathon!
