<p style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p>
<p style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #993300;">Very sadly, I have to inform you that I have had to withdraw from the Virgin London Marathon 2011 due to ill health. I'm very frustrated and cross about this as I view my fundraising for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Macmillan Cancer Support</span> very seriously. My intention, however, is to come back fitter, stronger and faster than before and be able to do something rather spectacular for Macmillan as soon as I'm able to.</span></strong></p>
<p style="color: #008000;"><strong>Even though I won't be running the marathon, you can still make a donation here if you want to help Macmillan care for people living with cancer and I promise that your money WILL make a difference.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #4f81bd;"><span style="color: #000000;">Since I ran the Virgin London Marathon last year for <span style="color: #008000;">Macmillan Cancer Support</span>, approximately <strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">298,000</span></strong><span> </span>people in the UK have been told they have cancer. Perhaps your life, or someone you love, has been affected too.</span></span></p>
