Story

<div class="frp-message-body" style="height: auto;"> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;my JustGiving page.&nbsp;I plan to complete <strong>both </strong>the<strong>&nbsp;Brighton and London full Marathons </strong>on <strong>consecutive Sundays </strong>in April, running<strong> over&nbsp;52 miles </strong>around Brighton and London. If you've any doubt about the challenge I face, check one of the routes.&nbsp;Click&nbsp;<a href="http://brightonmarathon.co.uk/course.php">http://brightonmarathon.co.uk/course.php</a>&nbsp;(make sure you come back to donate though!!)</p> <p>I&nbsp;want to raise as much as&nbsp;I can for a small charity that is doing some incredible work helping sufferers of a little known condition and their families, whilst also funding much needed research. - <strong>The Myositis Support Group</strong> (<a href="http://www.myositis.org.uk/">www.myositis.org.uk</a>).&nbsp;My chosen charity is very close to my heart as it is run by my Uncle Les and Auntie Irene - who set it up&nbsp;after my cousin was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis. The charity does some excellent work and Les was awarded an MBE&nbsp;in recognition of&nbsp;30 years of hard work.&nbsp;</p> <p>So please help out however you can as <strong>every penny really counts </strong>for the group.</p> <p>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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Thanks very much for your support - every bit helps.</p> </div>
