Story

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">To be honest I have always sponsored my friends when they ran for a charity however I wasn't really comfortable asking people to support me, but this year for London Marathon I have for the first time decided to raise money for a charity. The charity I have chosen to support is Cam-mind and the reason for this is because it's a local charity, which helps people suffering from mental health problems. This is something none of us are immune to and this illness can strike to the strongest of us. </span></span></span></strong></em></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just want to clarify that I haven't set any target for how much money I want to raise as I don't like putting pressure on my friends, especially in these time of financial hardship, so please donate any amount you wish, from &pound;1 to whatever you wish, it doesn't really matter how much it's the action of donating which is more important.
