Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For those that don't know I am running the 2012 London Marathon!! It's all for a good cause and all donations are going towards my sister's charity, The Rosie May Memorial Fund.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;; color: #1c1c1c; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The Rosie May Memorial Fund was founded in memory of my sister Rosie May who was tragically murdered in 2003 at the age of 10.&nbsp;&nbsp;Through the charity we provide children with a future that Rosie May was denied. In Sri Lanka we have built the Rosie May Home where 20 orphaned girls age 3 to 14 years have been reunited with their sisters and live in a safe family environment. They attend the village school and learn additional new skills such as IT and English alongside traditional dance and crafts to maintain their cultural heritage. The Rosie May Home really does provide these girls with a brighter and better future.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;; color: #1c1c1c; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;; color: #1c1c1c; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Over the years the charity has gone from strength to strength! Seeing the development of the home and how it has made such a huge difference in the lives of so many children is something that I truly believe Rosie would be extremely proud of. This has all been made possible by people like you who without your gracious support none of this would be possible.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;
