Story

<p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I am running the Marathon with The Paris Dream Team who are raising money for a range of charities including Children's charities, Cancer Charities... </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I'm running to raise money for Group B Strep after a friend of mine in the financial industry lost their new born daughter to GBS in April 2011. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Group B Strep&nbsp;is a bacterium carried by a quarter of all women, and the UK is one of the few countries where women are not tested for GBS.&nbsp;The charity aims at raising awareness, and pressing the government and medical board to start testing for GBS, as well as obviously giving huge support to the families who lose a child.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Please give generously - many thanks indeed for your support.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
