Story

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">On Sunday 22nd April 2012 I will be running in my 14th consecutive London Marathon to raise money for a charity called Support Dogs. I will be running the 26.2 miles dressed as a big, fat, seven foot tall dog collecting money with a bucket en route.<span> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline; outline-width: 0px;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">Support Dogs is a unique UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with epilepsy, physical disabilities and families with children with autism by training dogs to act as efficient and safe assistants. The charity specialises in training dogs for seizure alert work to warn epilepsy sufferers of an imminent seizure, allowing them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Many of the dogs used by the charity are rescue dogs, therefore giving the dogs a chance for a much better life!</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline; outline-width: 0px;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">As many of you are aware my brother suffers from epilepsy and had a dog called Aura that helped improve his quality of life immensely.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline; outline-width: 0px;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">I would be very grateful if you could dig deep in to your pockets and sponsor me for this great cause, giving many more people like my brother a better quality of life. No matter how small the donation, every little bit really does help!</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline; outline-width: 0px;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">Thank you very much for your kind support.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">Best wishes,</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">Patrick </span></p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
