Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hi there, thanks for coming to my donation page. &nbsp;If you ever thought there was a person less likely to run the London Marathon I imagine it would be me! &nbsp;Well, I agree. &nbsp;In a bid to get fit once and for all, on April 22nd 2012 I will be trudging the 26 miles and 385 yards around London and I would love your support!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your donations will be a great moral boost to me as I am training here in Beirut and will spur me on around the course in April. Furthermore, they are going to a great cause. &nbsp;Survival International works to bring awareness to the plight of Indigenous peoples all over the world. &nbsp;As most of you know I studied Anthropology at uni and so although an unfamiliar topic to many, I know that it really is a worthwhile cause! &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">You can look on it as a double handed donation, one to will me around the course and the other offering support to those who live unique and threatened lives.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I have created a page for you to follow my progress and laugh at my blisters should you so wish - it also makes me run if I know there is the possibility that people are watching me! &nbsp;You can follow me at:</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://abodythatiusedtoknow.blogspot.com/">http://abodythatiusedtoknow.blogspot.com/</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Please dig deep and donate as much as you are able to - I really appreciate it!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Thanks, Ruth</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
