Story

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">On 6th November 2011, myself and 40 other runners from Aberdeen are running the New York Marathon in an effort to raise &pound;100,000 to be shared between two children&rsquo;s charities, the ARCHIE Foundation and Dreams Come True. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Due to the large number of runners, we have split into two teams and I am running on behalf of Dreams Come True and would be delighted with any donation you could spare to help me achieve my goal and help such a worthwhile cause. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Dreams Come True is a children's charity serving the whole of the UK. Our mission is quite simply, to make dreams come true for seriously and terminally ill children across the country. Over the last 10 years we have brought happiness and joy to more than five thousand children as well as their friends, family and carers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Dreams Come True helps children with both life threatening and long-term illness. We operate with complete integrity and dependability - liaising, coordinating, organising, funding and often accompanying the Dream children - to ensure that each child has an unforgettable experience fulfilling their dream, with wonderful memories to share with loved ones and friends.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Each dream is unique. Some children want to meet their celebrity hero or favourite Disney character while others want to visit their grandparents abroad, ride a unicorn, swim with dolphins or work on a fashion magazine. Many want help with their everyday lives and Dreams Come True is delighted to provide vital sensory equipment, wheelchairs or specially adapted bicycles as well.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Any help you can give me would be brilliant and will go a long way to helping local children.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Bryan </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
