<p><span style="color: #000000;">So...Take 2...!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">As I'm sure you will know,unfortunately due to a knee injury one week prior to last year's Marathon, I was unable to take part.&nbsp; Following an arthroscopy , physio etc and 4 months of day timeTV(!)&nbsp;my knee is now fully recovered and I am fortunate to have been asked once again to represent and support British Blind Sport in memory of Dad.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Last year I raised a total of &pound;2139.00 for which I say a big thank you again to those who supported me.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">This year I would love to raise as much as&nbsp;I can to add to the existing amount especially with the Paralympics coming up in 2012. </span><span style="color: #000000;">I have chosen to run the London Marathon in memory of my&nbsp;Dad who passionately supported British Blind Sport.&nbsp; He became involved with the charity whist he was&nbsp;Master and Almoner of 'The Worshipful Company of Fletchers' and had already been involved with preparations and planning for 2012 Games.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">British Blind Sport&nbsp;facilitates&nbsp;blind and visually impaired children&nbsp;and adults to have the same opportunities as sighted people,&nbsp;enabling them to take part in and&nbsp;enjoy sport and recreational activities. Eyesight is a sense we all too often take for granted. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #000000;">For those of you who know me you'll realise this is an ambitious challenge! I've always thought I'd look good in a silver foil poncho but possibly&nbsp;not after sweating it out for&nbsp;26.2&nbsp;miles!!! I have seven months of gruelling and&nbsp;painful training ahead so please support me!!!</span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
