<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">Hello, you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">On Sunday 11 March 2012, The Royal Marsden are hosting The Marsden March: a sponsored 14-mile walk between their hospitals in Chelsea and Sutton. All funds raised go directly to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity – a cause which is incredibly close to my heart and one for which I’d be mighty stoked to raise as much money as possible. And so, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">Lisa’s Lovelies, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">my team of wonderful walkers (and wheelchair-pushers) have joined together, uniting in our blisters to do just that.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 252.0pt 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The Royal Marsden Hospital has become something of a second home to me, following </span><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia;">a pesky breast-cancer diagnosis at the age of 28. Some three years down the line – with newly grown hair, a newly published book and a newly perky rack – I dared to assume that I’d seen the worst… only for the c-word to crop up once more: this time in my bones and brain, and this time incurable.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia;">Hence, </span><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity means a helluva lot to me – no, to <em>all of us</em>. What would mean even more, however, is if you’d see fit to shift a few quid from your bank account to this sponsorship page (claiming Gift Aid if you’re a UK taxpayer), and then tell as many people as possible that you’ve done so, in the hope that they’ll want to be just like you (hoo hoo) and do the same.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Thanks in advance, lovely person.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Wish us luck!</span></p>
