Story

<p><span style="color: #008000;">Hi friends,</span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080;">I'm running another </span><strong style="color: #008080;">half marathon</strong><span style="color: #008080;">... a different one this year (missed the sign-up for Reading), so looking forward to a new route round Richmond. &nbsp;I managed a 12 mile run in the pouring rain and wind recently - got to be prepared for all weathers in this country! &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">I'll be running with 2 Yeldall residents who have never done a half marathon before and another supporter. &nbsp;Money will go towards an </span><strong style="color: #800080;">activity break for residents</strong><span style="color: #800080;">, which I can say from experience is AMAZING (see pics) - first holiday of that kind for several of them, with chance to do things like horse riding, canoing and enjoying the countryside as well as build friendships with each other - a </span><strong style="color: #800080;">significant part of their recovery journeys. &nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Any donation would be really appreciated - many thanks!</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Rachel&nbsp;</span></p>
