<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Hello potential sponsor!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Thank you for visiting my page and for even <span style="text-decoration: underline;">considering</span> sponsoring me to run the London Marathon for the Free Representation Unit (FRU) on 22nd April. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;">If you know me then you are probably currently in a state a shock brought on by the thought that I would be foolhardy enough to attempt a marathon. So, as you can imagine, I require all the support that I can get! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;">The FRU provide a vitally important service for the community. You can visit their website at <a href="http://www.thefru.net/">www.thefru.net</a> to find out a little bit more about the work that they do.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;">As their name suggests, the FRU is a free service that provides legal representation for members of the public, in employment and social security tribunals. They are small and rely on hundreds of volunteers to make it all work. In an age when government cuts ensure that fewer and fewer people qualify for public legal funding, the FRU provides a crucial service in ensuring that people who otherwise cannot afford a lawyer do not have to face the wrath of a judge and the skill of the other side’s lawyer all by themselves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;">The continuation of this service is only possible if people like <strong>YOU</strong> are so kind as to donate a few pounds to ensure its ongoing success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;">Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. If you can get past the “Ummm I’d love to but I’m already sponsoring like 100 other people” stage to the “actually I’m going to give the FRU £££ because they sound great and I don’t believe Richard can run 26.2 miles anyway” stage then please donate. Any amount that that you can afford will go a long way to ensuring that this fantastic service can help many more people for years to come.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">The FRU and I appreciate your support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Richard</span></p>
