The Dr Hadwen Trust&nbsp;for Humane Research (DHT) funds non animal medical research projects across the UK, helping in the fight against diseases such as Cancer, Asthma and Alzheimer&rsquo;s. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Whilst&nbsp;medical research is essential in finding new ways of treating diseases and alleviating human suffering, charities such as the DHT show that it is possible to carry out research without the need for animal testing.&nbsp; In this modern world, new scientific approaches can and do make a real difference.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">To fund research grants the DHT relies solely on donations and legacies, so it would be amazing if you could&nbsp;sponsor me to&nbsp;help&nbsp;them to achieve even more medical advancements without costing animal lives.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">So please dig deep and donate now.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Thank you x</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">10/06/11 UPDATE: I finally got my run time today. I managed it in 1:44:49! Very pleased with the result but even happier with my fundraising. Thank you so much for all your kind donations. It's going to a fantastic cause. Lots of love, Maribel xxxx</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span></div>
