Story

Dear Friends and family.

For the 10th and last time I am running the Flora London marathon for a wonderful charity called ‘’Make a Wish’’. I’ve chosen this charity because a good friend of mine lost his son last November aged 7 to Leukaemia. “Make a Wish” helped them get through this awful illness and made the last few months of Tommy life special for them all.  Below is a brief paragraph about the charity.    

Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. Make-A-Wish was founded in the UK in June 1986 and, since then, we have granted over 5,300 wishes. At any given time, over 20,000 children in the are living with life-threatening conditions and our aim is to grant 21 wishes a week by the year 2010. Whether a wish is to be a princess or a policeman for a day, own the latest computer equipment, meet a favourite celebrity or just enjoy some special time away from home with their family, a wish come true brings so much to a child's life and provides memories for the family that last a lifetime.

Any donation will be really gratefully received and I’d like to thank you for all you support.
