<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As you all know, I have Harrogate Hospital to thank for being fit and healthy enough to train for and participate in this marathon. Therefore, it was an obvious choice for me to choose them as my charity for this event and give any money that I can raise back to the hospital that looked after me so well for so long.&nbsp;</p> <p>The care and treatment that the hospital and its fantastic staff gave to me has provided me with the motivation and ability to continue with the time consuming and often difficult training that is required to participate in a marathon. Any donation that you can give will not only mean a lot to the hospital but it will also mean a lot to me.</p> <p>Thank you so much in advance for any donations.</p> <p>Francesca.</p>
