However with the New Year comes a new challenge and this time I have signed up to run the London Marathon on the 22&nbsp;April to raise money for Small Steps.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">Small Steps is a small charity based in Putney that educates parents on how to help their own children, many of whom have cerebral palsy or other forms of motor and sensory impairment, with their ongoing development.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">The school, which is funded entirely through charitable donations is unfortunately having to re-locate from it's donated premises to rented accommodation. I am therefore keen to raise as much money as possible to ensure this fantastic charity can continue to help children like Lucie progress and develop through play.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">I would therefore ask that you could sponsor me as much as you can so please dig deep and donate now.</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
