Story

<p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>This page is set up in memory of my wonderful fiance, 2LT Jonathan Carlos Bracho-Cooke. Jonny was killed in action in Iraq&nbsp;on 5th February 2007.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;">Jonny was so courageous and incredibly caring and giving. He believed strongly in helping others and supported veterans of the army and fellow servicemen whole-heartedly. The British Limbless ExServicemen's Association (BLESMA)&nbsp; is a charity which supports servicemen and women who have been left with severe handicaps from their own bravery and willingness to put themselves forward for the greater good of others.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;">Joggingforjonny was set up joggingforjonny to raise money for BLESMA in Jonny's memory.&nbsp;Huge thanks to everyone who has run for jogginforjonny and everyone who has donated - your support means everything to me.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;">Mark Cage is running the Pop</span><span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana;">py Half-marathon on Sunday 13th November.
