<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">As many of you will already know I have taken up the challenge of running the London Marathon this year. I couldn t really say no with the olypics this year etc!!!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I am well into my training programme and managing to stick to it - just about! It is such hard work and takes up so much time - bit of a shock to the system! </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I am running for gift of sight because I was unfortunate enough to have a detatched retina in 2010 and the eye unit at southampton hospital was where i had to have my surgery. Eye charities are often overlooked unless a problem has occured with the eyes but the research that they do will probably help most people at one point or another!!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Please find the time to give a donation - any amount, it doesnt matter!&nbsp;It all helps. Thanks very much!!!</span></p>
