Story

<p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">Dear all,</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">Running the London Marathon is going to be a big&nbsp;challenge for me, but&nbsp;I am a very determined girl and knowing that I&nbsp;will be making&nbsp;a difference to a&nbsp;magnificant charity that is very close to my heart, will get me through. Great Ormond Street Hospital have kindly offered me a chance to run for them in the 2012 London Marathon. An offer which I speedily accepted!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">This charity means a lot to me. </span><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">I was admitted to the hospital when I was 3 years old having been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.&nbsp;Although you would assume that this kind of experience would not be a pleasent one, the GOSH team made us as a family very welcome, and my time within the hospital turned into a life changing positive experience, one which I am eternally grateful for.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">I was in hospital for 6 months and the GOSH team were amazing, and they have provided me with a normal life and the ability to now be in a position to repay their kindness and run the marathon on their behalf. Without their expertise, tis would not be possible. Appropriately, I have pledged to raise &pound;2,012.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">Please can I ask you to give generously, to support me, and more importantly to help me in raising funds to help others who need Great Ormond Street.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #800080;">Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It&rsquo;s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC) gets your money faster and,</span><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> if you&rsquo;re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">Thank you for your support,</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-size: x-small;">Love&nbsp;and Kisses </span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #800080;">Louise xxxx</span><br></span></span></p>
