<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This year sees a first attempt at the Brighton Marathon: sun (possibly), sea (probably) and sore legs (certainly)!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Having crossed the finishing line in last years VLM I really didn't think i'd ever want to &nbsp;run another marathon again but with only eighteen months to go until the big five zero I thought I that maybe this decrepit old body might have just one more 26.2 miles left in it!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Once again I'm supporting the <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Springboard Projec</span><span style="color: #ff6600;">t</span></strong> a locally (Horsham) based charity that do marvellous work to help young people with special needs or disabilities &nbsp;and their parents and carers. You can read a lot more about them by visiting their website at:&nbsp;<span style="color: #ff6600;">http://www.springboardproject.com/</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I hassled many of you to support Springboard last year and your generosity helped to raise over &pound;2000 which enabled the purchase of a mobile hoist. I realise that we are in difficult financial times and there are many good causes competing for any spare cash we might have so my fundraising approach will be "light touch" &nbsp;this year. I'll send you updates on my training efforts but I'm not setting a high target. Anything you can give will make a difference.</span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">See you on April 15.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Chris</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
