<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why am I running the London Marathon?</span></p> <p>I work with several charities and they are dependant on funding to keep their doors open and provide services, support and hope to&nbsp;people like you and I.&nbsp; They are on their knees financially and running the marathon&nbsp;to raise funds is the least that I could do to 'do my bit'.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm calling on all my family, friends, colleagues and aquaintances to 'do their bit' and&nbsp;reach out and touch someone's life by giving a donation.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Who am I running for?</span></p> <p>The donations are going to the Foundation for Social Improvement who are a charitable organisation who support everyday small charities who provide support to&nbsp;individuals, families and communities to&nbsp;positively touch and&nbsp; improve the lives of millions. On a daily basis thousands of these organisations struggle to keep their doors open and reach everyone that needs their help.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What will your donation do?</span></p> <p>Your donation will go a long way to securing the existance of existing organisations, improving their services and possibly creating new services - services that&nbsp;you never know when&nbsp;<strong>you might have to&nbsp;use them!</strong></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
