Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; color: #2a2a2a; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="line-height: 19px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">As an able bodied person, running the marathon for Back Up just seems right. For me there is an obvious connection and I know beyond a shadow of doubt that I take for granted my ability to do such things as run (slowly) and play rugby. I also know that I would need a considerable amount of help and support coming to terms with life in a wheel chair. For me it&rsquo;s that simple, take a moment to think how you would cope.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">So please dig deep and donate now.</span></p>
