<p>Having watched the London Marathon on T.V. for years, I thought it was about time I gave it a go myself.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I am running to raise money for Barnardo's, which is one of the UK's leading charities, supporting vulnerable children.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">- Barnardo's runs 415 projects across the UK and works directly with over 100,000 families providing services for children in poverty, young carers or children who have been sexually exploited.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">- Making a donation is one of the best ways to ensure that these children have the long-term care and support they urgently need.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">- For every &pound;1 you raise for Barnardo's, 94p goes directly to helping the vulnerable children.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, please dig deep!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I really appreciate your support.</p>
