Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hi, my name is Jason Healy I&rsquo;m 30 years old, married to Kelly and have 2 children Scarlett 5 and Thomas 3. I work for a security firm in Lincoln and have been there since leaving school.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">I want to run for a charity in the Lincolnshire area and as my mother in law has had LIVES out to her twice I approached LIVES to see if I could run for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>I found out they had just been given their first place in the Marathon and that I was to be their very 1st runner to enter which makes it that little bit more special.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">LIVES is a local charity that everyone knows about and is a worth while cause, they respond quickly to an emergency which is important to the health of someone in need of medical attention, the cost of keeping the charity running each year is nearly 1 million pounds.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">I started running regular about 3 years ago, starting with a couple of 10km races and then I decided to run a half marathon in 2010. Having looked into entering the 2011 London marathon I found I had missed the ballot so made sure I entered when the ballot opened for the 2012 marathon. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">I&rsquo;m looking forward to working alongside LIVES in the coming months and raising as much money as possible for them, they are a charity that needs as many people as possible to help them and I hope that running for them in the London marathon can contribute to that. My target time for running the marathon is to try and break 4hrs.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you for your support. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Jason </span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
