<p>Help - I've only gone and done it now</p> <p>I have stepped in last min for my&nbsp;'OLD'er brother Nigel &amp; CEO&nbsp; Raystede (Centre for Animal Welfare) who has managed to injure himself in training and fit in a months visit to relatives in OZ but assures me he is mortified he has been forced to pull out. (Hmmm!!!!! bless)</p> <p>Now a month away and 2 days of training (well sort of) behind me. The actual size of this whole ting, effort &amp; people i have met are quite simply ''mind blowing''. It really is worth a donation however ''all creatures great or small''. It all adds up you know, so give give give and help get me started.</p> <p>I am running 26.2 miles in the Brighton Marathon on 15th April YIKES (the point.2 is apparently from the burger van to the starting line) for Raystede. Their centre goes a long way way beyond the staggering work already undertaken towards helping unwanted, injured, abused and plain neglected animals. They need us, you &amp; me too you know. Their work also reaches out into communities where it can educate &amp; break down barriers through these animals, allowing lives of both people and animals (especially those who have been disadvantaged or emotionally scarred in life) to be happy again. It really does make a difference to all animals &amp; people - while making families &amp; children complete with a ''now loved'' but once unloved pet. True care - true sanctuary &amp; true love</p> <p>Please support me on this run and feel free to join us in Brighton on the day. I promise i will not stop until that finish line appears. I will probably end up going round twice you know - im not always the most aware when focused or unfocused (so double your monies worth). You really are adding to a wonderfull cause and i thank you all. Oh by the way Raystede is a cracking day out or Sunday afternoon trip if your ever in or near Lewes - just stop by and ask for Nigel !!!!!</p>
