Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The rumours are true &ndash; as some of you may have heard on April 22 (and probably for the remainder of the year!) I will be running the 2012 London Marathon and raising money for the WHSmith Trust. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The WHSmith Trust uses its donations to support it's employees in their own local fundraising efforts - giving grants to all kinds of charities and good causes, as well as helping to improve literacy among people of all ages. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">More information can be found on the Trust's website</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.whsmithplc.co.uk/corporate_responsibility/whsmith_trust/the_whsmith_charitable_trust/">http://www.whsmithplc.co.uk/corporate_responsibility/whsmith_trust/the_whsmith_charitable_trust/</a></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyone who knows me &ndash; and even those of you who just know of me &ndash; will know that I don&rsquo;t even run for the bus, so the 26.2 miles I&rsquo;m forcing myself to do in April is very much a once in a lifetime thing (literally, as it will probably kill me!).</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To that end &ndash; I&rsquo;m asking you to take just five minutes and donate &ndash; any amount you can reasonably spare. Every little helps!</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">You can keep up to date with how&nbsp;my training&nbsp;is going - among other things -&nbsp;by visiting my twitter page <a href="http://www.twitter.com/AlexJCall">www.twitter.com/AlexJCall</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
