Story

<p>My Mum died last year after a short illness of liver cancer. Before she died she asked me if I would like to run the marathon for Knowles Tooth.</p> <p>Knowles Tooth &nbsp;is a small local chairty where my Mum volunteered at for 3 years. She did things like: Went to the Project and talked to with parents, played with the children, took the children for mini trips such as swimming. Generally gave them her time and love to try and support people at a time of stress.</p> <p>I've been training hard now for the last 5 months in preparation for the first ever marathon. Any amount is grealty appreciated! I'm not going to poo poo a pound!</p> <p>Here is the link for Knowles Tooth website if you want to know anymore about the charity: &nbsp;<a href="http://www.familysupportwork.org.uk/knowles-tooth-centre/">http://www.familysupportwork.org.uk/knowles-tooth-centre/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br></span></span></p>
