I seem to have got the marathon bug! After three previous London Marathons I am still coming back for more.
This year I have been lucky enough to pick up a place in the ballot at the fourth time of asking but nevertheless I am looking to raise a bit of money for a worthy charity along the way.
Starlight do fantastic work with seriously and terminally ill children. At the heart of their activities is the "granting of wishes" - providing the child with a wonderful experience to provide a focus and some happiness amidst the challenging times they face. This could be anything from a trip to Disneyland to a meeting with an idol from the world of sports or entertainment. I would encourage you to take a look at their website to see some examples of what can be done.
If any of this strikes a chord with you, I would encourage to to make a donation to Starlight - it all helps towards providing a little joy in the lives of terribly ill children.
Many thanks
Chris
