Dad loved a challenge, big sporting events and especially supporting his boys, so I know if he was with us today he would have been, in his own unique way, giving me advice on how I can do it in the quickest time and cheering me when I crossed the line. This is a real challenge for me, but one I am really looking forward to. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dad was a passionate Head Teacher for 25 years and paramount in his belief was developing children and keeping them safe from harm. This is why I have chosen Kidscape as my charity so they can carry on their fantastic work in keeping children safe from harm and abuse</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kidscape was the UK&rsquo;s first charity dedicated to the prevention of child bullying and abuse. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Since its formation 25 years ago, Kidscape has helped to protect many thousands of children through the wide range of support it provides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Unfortunately, each year, an alarming number of children still are victims of either bullying or abuse &ndash; so there&rsquo;s still more work to be done!&nbsp; Kidscape relies heavily on public donations to continue delivering on its vital mission. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank again for visiting my page and reading why I&rsquo;ve chosen to fundraise for this particular charity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
