<p>I am raising funds to provide life-saving equipment for the Special Care Baby Unit at the QEQM hospital in Margate.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;">Post-race update- 22nd April 2012</span></span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><em>It's all over! I finished in just over 5 and a half hours, about 25 minutes faster than my last run 5 years ago.&nbsp; A great day, very tough going for the last 5 miles or so, although I did seem to speed up towards the end!&nbsp; My legs are very sore!</em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><em>If you think I did well today, please sponsor me.&nbsp; This is what today and the last six months have all been about, raising money for the Margate Special Care Baby Unit.<br></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Our son Thomas was born in January 2009.&nbsp; When he was born, he had to spend a few days in the Special Care Baby Unit until he was well enough to come home with us.&nbsp; We will always be grateful for the wonderful care that the staff gave Tom during his first few days.&nbsp; They were also so calm and reassuring with his mum and dad at what was a very difficult and emotional time.&nbsp; As many of you know,&nbsp; Tom is now a very happy, healthy and bouncing three year old!</p> <p>Please give generously for a very worthy cause.&nbsp; You can make a donation via this webpage.&nbsp; Alternatively, you can contact me directly at christiancooper@fastmail.fm or contact me c/o Preston Primary School, Mill Lane, Preston, Kent CT3 1HB.</p> <p>Business sponsorship - if you would like to sponsor me (generously!), I would be delighted to advertise your business on my web page and all press releases and promotional material, including my race day running shirt.&nbsp; Thanks!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
