Story

<p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 14.25pt;">Hello. I&rsquo;m running my first ever 10k on April 1 as part of Team Daisy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Team Daisy are a group of people who are taking part in the 2012 Bournemouth Bay 10k Run to raise money for SPRING.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; line-height: 14.25pt;">SPRING is a charity in Poole, Dorset, that supports families dealing with neonatal grief.&nbsp; In the UK, eleven babies a day are stillborn, and unfortunately my friend Emma&rsquo;s baby Daisy was one of those stillborn on 21&nbsp;February 2011, which also happens to be my birthday.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; line-height: 14.25pt;">SPRING provided essential support for Daisy&rsquo;s parents, Nick &amp; Emma, and continue to do so today.&nbsp; To read Daisy&rsquo;s story and to find out more about SPRING go to&nbsp;</span><a style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; line-height: 14.25pt;" title="www.justgiving.com/nicholas-johnston" href="http://www.justgiving.com/nicholas-johnston">www.justgiving.com/nicholas-johnston</a><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; line-height: 14.25pt;">. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; line-height: 14.25pt;">Any donations would be very gratefully received. I only started running in the autumn of last year, so while a 10k isn&rsquo;t a huge distance, it feels pretty huge to me!&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: white; line-height: 14.25pt;">Thanks very much,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Jo&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
