<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Hi! </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks for tuning in to our just giving page, if you're here it means that we've either pestered you into doing something worthwhile with your spare cash or you want to have a laugh at the expense of Neil, Dale and James as we try to complete the Brighton Marathon!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Now, instead of the only outcome of 26 idiotic miles being a huge burden on the St John's Ambulance and their oxygen supplies we want to ensure some good comes from this running debacle and have subsequently chosen an incredible charity to raise money for. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">We've believe in Miracles UK <a href="http://www.miraclesthecharity.org/new/miracles_uk"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.miraclesthecharity.org/new/miracles_uk</span></a> because of their unflinching commitment and work with supporting families who are caring for terminally sick children and in some tragic cases, children caring for parents.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">It takes a lot to melt the heart of Neil Cox and even more to get Dale Harris to run anywhere other than the fish and chip shop! But along with James Barclay we have been incredibly moved by the impact this charity has on the lives of people who battle so bravely and give up so much to deal with their unfortunate circumstance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">If we three bitter and cynical men are willing to run 26 miles against all our better judgement then we hope that you will be willing to give whatever you can to support us and make a difference to the quality of life of a family having to live day in and day out in the shadow of a terminal illness.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">So please dig deep, donate now and come to Brighton on the 15th April to watch your investment flirt with a dehydrated and oxygen starved death. We guarantee you'll get your monies worth!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Thank you,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Neil, Dale &amp; James.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
