Story

<p>Dear all,</p> <p>As most of you know&nbsp;I successfully completed the London Marathon on 22nd April 2012 in aid of Sparks achieving a PB time of 3hrs 51mins.&nbsp;Sparks is a fantastic charity that gives parents, children and babies hope.&nbsp;</p> <p>My sincere thanks to&nbsp;all those that have sponsored me. Your help will make a difference.</p> <p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">Sparks is currently funding research into a range of medical conditions that affect children, babies and mums-to-be. One of these projects is investigating the possibility of a sensitive test for congenital heart disease. The test will be done during pregnancy and will help doctors to deliver timely and potentially life-saving treatment when the baby is born.</span></p> <p>As many of you know our baby son George died over 5 years ago from complicated heart problems. My aim is to raise as much as I can with your kind generosity and support to fund this important research to help other babies be born healthy and stay healthy in the future.</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>My sincere thanks,</p> <p>Paul</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
