First and foremost, thank you for taking the the time to take a look at my JustGiving page.

I was born 10 weeks early.

Not to get all mushy on you but I was small, I was weak, and it was the work of charities like Bliss that made sure I pulled through to grow up big and strong (I am very strong).

Mummy and Daddy say that me growing up to be a big boy and (hopefully) running the London Marathon will give hope to those parents who are going and will go through what mine did almost 24 years ago. More importantly, though, it - and your kind donations - give charities like Bliss the means to ensure hope is not all these parents have rooting for their new arrival.

So please donate. Do it for the kids.

Thanks,

Nick Beaver (aged 23 3/4)
