<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Last year a group of staff from St George's ran and walked 19.28km for The Soldier's Charity&nbsp;(10 metres for every serviceman killed or wounded in action in Afghanistan). The MoD figure for casualties at the end of 2011 is 2209, meaning I will be walking 22.09km; a&nbsp;sad increase on the distance&nbsp;I&nbsp;did last year.&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #008000;">So once again, I will be donning my faithful walking boots and truding through the Herts / Beds countryside to raise funds for this worthwhile cause.</span>&nbsp; </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #800080;">Beamer won't be joining&nbsp;me as I plan to complete the course within a&nbsp;few hours - not days, but he will of course,&nbsp;remain my loyal mascot!</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080;">If you wish to&nbsp;sponsor me by text, just put CSEU88 followed by the amount (eg. <strong>CSEU88 &pound;2</strong>) to <strong>70070. </strong>Thank&nbsp;you x&nbsp;</span></p>
