Story

<p><!--StartFragment--></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am running the London Marathon (2012), with a good friend of mine, Sophie Macrae, who is also at Leeds University. We are running the marathon to raise money for the road safety charity BRAKE. BRAKE is a charity that exists for a simple reason because every 30 seconds someone, somewhere in the world, is killed in a road crash. Every hour 29 people are killed and hurt on our roads in the UK.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span>My father died aged 49 in February 2011 in a car accident and Sophie lost her eldest sister, Henrietta, aged just 20, in 2002. This charity supports crash victims and bereaved families. The charity means a lot to both Sophie and I and we would appreciate your support hugely through sponsoring us to run. I feel honoured to be doing this with Sophie, who's sister Henrietta always wanted to run the marathon. My father was a fantastic sportsman, and I know he would be very proud if he knew I was running in it.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you very much for all your support and kind donations.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Love Georgia xxxx</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Brake Website: http://www.brake.org.uk/ <br /></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <p>&nbsp;</p>
