Story

<p><span style="color: #333333;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Okay, so you'd think that I'd learnt from the first time of running the London Marathon in 2010&nbsp;that doing this is not an easy thing - training through the winter (including in the snow), problems with my ITB muscle, my running buddy having to pull out 1 month before the 2010 marathon and then having 'learning' to run on my own as a consequence.&nbsp; Well, I guess all of&nbsp;that doesn't matter too much because it comes down to running for a well deserving charity and trying to raise as much money for them as possible.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">This time round, I'm raising money for <span style="color: #333399;"><strong><em>Headway Surrey </em></strong></span>who support p<span style="font-family: Arial;">eople with brain injuries, t</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">heir families and carers, and promotes understanding of the implications of brain injury throughout Surrey. Headway Surrey will also provide support, for brain injuries from causes other than head injury (e.g. encephalitis, tumour, stroke, infection, etc.).</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So please, if you can spare some cash to&nbsp;encourage me to go through all&nbsp;of this training...again!...then it would be very much appreciated!</span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;"><em>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</em>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">So please dig deep and donate now - in fact <span style="color: #333399;"><strong><em>any </em></strong></span>donation big or small is great!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Debbie :)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">p.s. Don't forget to come and cheer me on on <span style="color: #333399;"><strong><em>22 April 2012</em>!</strong></span> We can then celebrate at the pub afterwards! :)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">p.p.s. check this <a title="Debbie Leeland the favourite in the London Marathon!" href="http://www.marathonnewstv.com/?f=Debbie&amp;amp;amp;amp;l=Leeland&amp;amp;amp;amp;ch=Headway%20Surrey&amp;amp;amp;amp;n=1">link</a> out for a bit of humour! </span></p>
