This illness means that he and his family spend a lot of time in hospital . </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In spite of this, he&rsquo;s an incredibly brave and happy boy. We&rsquo;ve seen him reach milestones the doctors did not expect him to reach. When he&rsquo;s not unwell he attends a normal school with his brother and sister and actively plays on the green outside our house, and is a very keen footballer and most importantly, a Man United fan!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I am running the London Marathon in April 2012 and would really appreciate it if you could dig deep and donate as much as you&nbsp;can afford.
