<p>Hello !!!! And thank you for visiting my just giving page!</p> <p>A&nbsp;year ago I was fat, shaved head, thug looking slob&nbsp;.... and decided to take up running......... I set myself a goal to loose enough weight and get fit enough to run the London Marathon and raise as much money for a worthy cause.&nbsp; That worthy cause is the Lily Foundation.&nbsp; The Lily Foundation was founded in October 2007 by Liz&nbsp; Curtis and&nbsp;Dave Merritt, after they sadly lost their daughter to Mitochondrial Disease. The Lily Foundation is committed to finding a cure for Mitochondrial Disease and other metabolic disorders through funding research and providing support to those involved and affected by metabolic disorders.Please take a look at their website to learn more about The Lily Foundation - <a href="http://www.thelilyfoundation.org.uk/">http://www.thelilyfoundation.org.uk/</a></p> <p>Now this is my first London Marathon so please dig deep and donate as much as you can so I can raise as much as possible for The Lily Foundation....Thank you in advance for your support !!!!!!!!!</p>
