I will be aiming to break the world record for the "Fastest Marathon Dressed as a Fairy"
This year I will be running as a "Purple Fairy" granting wishes for kids (get it!!!!). So please get sponsoring me as if I raise £1,000 then I will attempt to beat the World Record for the fastest finishing time for a purple fairy!!!
For anyone who doesn't know why I am doing this then please read on.........
For those that don't know, I was widowed in November 2004 when Laura was knocked down and killed by a dangerous driver. In my late wife's memory, Wishes 4 Kids were kind enough to start a fund so that we could raise money in Laura's name. This is the "Laura Hulbert Fund for Wishes 4 Kids". This will be the fifth 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. So come on everyone.....give a little....help a lot!!!!
