Story

This is the&nbsp;"Laura Hulbert Fund for Wishes 4 Kids".&nbsp; This will be the&nbsp;fifth London Marathon I will have run for Wishes 4 Kids.</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #800080;">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.</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #800080;"> <p>Wishes 4 Kids has already granted hundreds of wishes for local children.</p> <p>Sadly&nbsp;there is no&nbsp;magical cure for the suffering of these youngsters, however,&nbsp;we can all help&nbsp;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.</p> <p><strong></strong>So come on everyone.....give a little....help a lot!!!!</p> </span></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> <p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
