Story

<p><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"><span style="font-size: small;">This year I will be running in (trying to get round!) the Brighton 2012 Marathon, for a wonderful local charity called Amaze. I chose&nbsp;Amaze as&nbsp;they are a great Brighton &amp; Hove charity and&nbsp;are&nbsp;used by the family of an equally amazing&nbsp;little girl that I know...</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thalia has Kabuki Syndrome, which means that she and her family have to cope with lots of challenges surrounding her condition, and many of the little things that lots of us take for granted can become very difficult to manage. Luckily, Thalia has an incredible family who deal with everything that comes their way, they have invaluable support from Amaze, and Thalia herself lives her life with a smile and a laugh and a truly amazing, humbling determination.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you'd&nbsp;like to learn more about Kabuki Syndrome then please do&nbsp;take a little time to visit these links (the second one was set up by Thalia's mum, aiming to connect families worldwide):&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><a href="http://kabukisyndrome.com/">http://kabukisyndrome.com/</a></p> <p><a href="http://kabukisyndrome.freeforums.org/">http://kabukisyndrome.freeforums.org/</a></p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
