<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ian and I have been actively involved with Sparks since our first daughter Holly died in December 2008. We have been busy fundraising and have raised over £60,000 to date. So, with 15 friends as part of 'Team H' in Holly's memory, we are running the London Marathon in April. YIKES!!!</span></span></p>

Without the help that Sparks provides, many babies and children would die or survive with a much poorer quality of life. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Sparks</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"> funds pioneering medical research that has a positive and practical impact on the lives of babies and children</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">.</span></span></p>
