<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">On April 17th 2011</span>&nbsp;I ran the Virgin London Marathon for The Blue Cross&nbsp;the Guide Dogs, two worthy charities that rely completely on the publics generosity. You can see my finishers medal in my pictures. It was extremely tough, being humid from start to finish, giving the runners more problems than just the sore legs we had anticipated! Although the run is over I STILL need donations to help this worthwhile cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Blue Cross are a charity dedicated to improving the lives of sick and unwanted pets. There don&rsquo;t receive any government funding and so rely on peoples generosity. At The Blue Cross they take in animals of all shapes and sizes, from hamsters to horses, and find them loving new homes. There make sure thousands more get the veterinary treatment they need when their owners cannot afford to pay.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Ian</p>
