Story

<p>For years I've been saying that running the London Marathon was one of my goals in life but it was always one of those pipe dreams, like climbing Everest or going to the moon.</p> <p>Then one day in late 2010, the opportunity to take part popped into my inbox at work and I couldn't in good conscience ignore it.&nbsp; Especially&nbsp;for a cause as&nbsp;worthy as Redress.</p> <p>So the training began in earnest, with the help of my brother who made the fatal error of saying in jest "You know, I quite fancy running the marathon too..."&nbsp;and then his brother-in-law Dan&nbsp;who, while running circles around me (literally)&nbsp;casually mentioned he&nbsp;wouldn't mind&nbsp;running it as well.</p> <p>Now there are three of us taking part, so please sponsor us (remembering to tick the box for gift aid) to help us raise money for the amazing Redress and to spur us through the wall and to the finish line.</p> <p>Thanks very much in advance.</p> <p>Suzie, John &amp; Dan</p> <p>x</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
