Story

<p><em> <p><strong>"To be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself<br>is one of the most tremendous things about the marathon."<br></strong><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Rob de Castella</em></p> </em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p><em>Hi Guys,</em></p> <p><em>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</em></p> <p><em>I feel very lucky to have secured a place in the London Marathon 2012.&nbsp;The fact&nbsp;that I'm&nbsp;running it for The British Forces Foundation makes it even more special. This charity boosts the morale of servicemen and women on the frontline, who are doing a difficult job, in hostile environments. </em></p> <p><em>As some of you&nbsp;may know, my sister is an ex servicewoman, and my brother is a serving solider, having recently returned from a six month tour of duty in Afghanistan.</em></p> <p><em>This&nbsp;will be&nbsp;my first marathon so I'm not focusing on a time, I just want to finish! </em></p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.</em></p> <p><em>So please dig deep and donate now. I really appreciate your support.</em></p> <p><em>Lynda :-)</em></p>
