For the third year in a row I am running the London Marathon, for the excellent cause that is Wishes 4 Kids. This years target is to beat my time of 3:14.34 from last years race. Once again, if I raise £1,200 or more by race day, 25th April 2010, then I will paint myself purple again. Please give generously if you want me to look stupid!!!!!
For those that don't know, I was widowed in November 2004 and decided that in my late wife's memory, I would raise money each year for the "Laura Hulbert Fund for Wishes 4 Kids". This will be the third London Marathon I will have run for Wishes 4 Kids.
Wishes 4 Kids has been created to grant a wish for children and youngsters in Leicestershire who are life limited, terminally ill, have experienced life-changing physical or emotional traumas, have suffered major abuse or are diagnosed as HIV Positive. The Charity grants wishes for those of eighteen years and below.
Wishes 4 Kids has already granted hundreds of wishes for local children.
Sadly there is no magical cure for the suffering of these youngsters, however, we can all help bring a short period of respite. The time when a child has a wish granted is a moment that will be treasured by them for the rest of their life. It is also a time which parents will remember - that time when their child forgot the suffering.
