Thanks for taking the time to visit Urban Element's JustGiving page. Jon Ellard is running the Bristol Half Marathon.

Miriam Hyman was just thirty-two years old when she lost her life in the 7/7 London bombings together with fifty-one other people. She was travelling to work on the bus that exploded in Tavistock Square.

In memory of a valuable life cut short, her family and friends have responded positively and are remembering Miriam in the best way possible, by raising funds to help others.  

Through the Miriam Hyman Memorial Trust (MHMT, http://www.miriam-hyman.com) they are supporting and equipping the Miriam Hyman Children's Eye Care Centre within the L V Prasad Eye Institute in Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India. This is a place of hope, healing and rehabilitation for children with eye conditions, irrespective of the ability to pay.  

Jon is running the Bristol Half Marathon on 05 September 2010 (and both Jon and Lizzie are also running the Cardiff Half Marathon in October 2010!) in aid of MHMT, our chosen charity.
