<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Greetings <br></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I decided to celebrate my upcoming 60 birthday in April by running a marathon, and was lucky enough to secure an unencumbered place in the first ever Milton Keynes run on 29 April.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;Now I&rsquo;ve decided to try to raise some money for a worthy cause &ndash; <a href="http://www.hgfoundation.com/index.html">The Human Givens Foundation</a>.<span>&nbsp; </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;A main aim of this charity is to support research into how best to treat mental ill-health and the relief of persons suffering from mental illness. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;This organisation has my support because they have a simple, no-nonsense approach to understanding what it means to be human and how this knowledge can be used to free people from conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders or trauma.<span>&nbsp; </span>The human givens approach is also being used in family welfare, education, organisational management and diplomacy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;Further information about the approach can be found on the website of <a href="http://www.hgi.org.uk/index.htm">The Human Givens Institute</a>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>&nbsp;</span>So, please have a look at the links above and, if you wish to give a helping hand, add your support to my page on <a title="Go to my page" href="http://www.justgiving.com/Graham-A-Wood">http://www.justgiving.com/Graham-A-Wood</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;Many thanks</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;Graham Wood</span></p>
