<p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">Thanks so much for visiting my page guys!</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">I&rsquo;ve decided to complete the 2011 Jungle marathon in the Amazon this Autumn and will be undertaking this massive challenge on behalf of UK Spinal Cord Injury cure research charity, Walkoncemore.</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">I&rsquo;ve got to carry all my own equipment and food throughout the entire race and will be working my way through hunting trails and logging paths over a pretty intimidating 222km/138 mile course which will take me right into the heart of the jungle! I&rsquo;m hoping you&rsquo;ll all get behind me and sponsor me as much as you possibly can for a great cause and to help propel me over each colossal tree root and mega-slippery-log-over-fast-flowing-stream situation! Every single &pound; counts guys and it&rsquo;ll really mean a lot to me and the charity, so please spare as little or as much as you can!</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">As a a six-day race in some of the most inhospitable and humid conditions on Earth, I&rsquo;m under no illusion that this will be a thoroughly taxing and punishing event! It&rsquo;s nothing, however, compared to how tough life is for millions of Spinal Cord Injury victims all over the World. By pushing myself through each gruelling mile, I&rsquo;m aiming to raise much needed funds and awareness towards cutting edge research into a cure for this devastating condition.</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">Any one of us could suffer a Spinal Cord Injury, anywhere, any time, so please think of their important work as something of an insurance policy and dig deep! I&rsquo;m looking to raise a minimum of &pound;7,000, but I may even exceed this with your kindness and generosity! I&rsquo;m hoping the fact that I&rsquo;ll potentially be dodging jaguars and the likes as I go round will make you sponsor me that little bit more ;-)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;"> </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;"> </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;"> </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;"> </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">In an instant, a paralysing Spinal Cord Injury robs the victim and their family of so much, and Walkoncemore support only the most cutting edge research into a solution. Permanent Spinal Cord Injuries will hopefully be a thing of the past before long and Walkoncemore are helping to ensure this happens as soon as is safely possible. </span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
