<p><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">This year I am raising money for <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Friends First</strong></span>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Friends First are a group of projects that aim to care for, house, support and equip homeless, vulnerable and marginalized people.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">The charity has two supported housing projects that offer a safe place from which people can rebuild their lives and regain hope for their futures. These projects offer lifeskills, training, education and community for their residents - for those who have lived on the fringes of society, living in a place where they are accepted for who they are can be a huge turning point. The charity also has a drop-in for street homeless people and a thriving market garden social enterprise. All the projects are supported by resettlement and outreach work helping those making the transition back into independent living.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">These guys do amazing work; I hope you'll consider helping them by sponsoring me to run in Brighton Marathon 2012!</span></p>
