<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Hello lovely people,</p> <p>I&rsquo;m running the Virgin London Marathon on April 22, 2012 and raising funds for the Suzy Lamplugh Trust (www.suzylamplughtrust.org), the UK&rsquo;s pioneering personal safety charity.</p> <p>It was founded by Suzy Lamplugh's parents, Paul and Diana. In 1986, their daughter, a 25-year-old estate agent, disappeared after she went to meet an unknown client. So far her body has not been found. However, she has been presumed murdered and legally declared dead.</p> <p>Paul and Diana believed that Suzy, like most people at that time &ndash; and even now &ndash; was simply unaware of the possible dangers that individuals can face in society. The Trust highlights the risks people face, offering advice and support to minimise those risks.</p> <p>It is a cause dear to my heart. I have four beautiful daughters of my own - Megan, Jemima, Nancy, Clementine - and their safety, well-being and happiness is everything to me.</p> <p>Mum, Andrea, even runs a company, Safe Girl Security (www.safe-girl.co.uk), helping to highlight these issues, and selling safety alarms and gadgets to girls and young women.</p> <p>Any support you can offer will go towards educating people - girls and boys - about the risks they face today and how they can reduce those risks.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Suzy Lamplugh Trust does not normally receive any support from the London marathon - one of the country's biggest fund raising events - so I am hoping that together we can all change that.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Martin&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
