Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Top of my &ldquo;things I must do before my body packs up&rdquo; list has always been to run the London Marathon. This year, thanks to my good friend Steve Nichols, I have had the great fortune to be given a place by the Rossendale Trust. Steve&rsquo;s brother Rick lives in Rossendale&rsquo;s Supported Living accommodation which provides an environment designed to encourage Rick to reach his full potential. As well as achieving a sense of independence, Rick also benefits from a stimulating programme of activities provided by Rossendale&rsquo;s day care facility. Rick is a great character with a wicked sense of humour who clearly thrives on the love and support given by his family and his life at Rossendale. </span></span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
