Story

<p><a href="http://www.Thank"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">Thank</span></a> you for visiting my just giving page. I am running the Glasgow half Marathon on the 5th of September&nbsp;to raise money for&nbsp;Erskine Hospital. Please visit <a href="http://www.erskine.org.uk/"><span style="color: #800080;">www.erskine.org.uk</span></a> to see some of the wonderful work that the hospital carries out.</p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">Erskine cares for Ex-service men and women and&nbsp;not only cares for the hero's&nbsp;of days gone by&nbsp;but also for the hero's from the modern conflict's in Afghanistan and Iraq.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">My Grand Father was a resident there for over 13 years and was lovingly cared for,&nbsp;so&nbsp;my family and I&nbsp;can speak from experience&nbsp;about the quality of care that is provided.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">I recently had the privilege of attending RAF Lossiemouth and carried out some Land Mine&nbsp;detection training as part of the&nbsp;weekends&nbsp;activities which was a very sobering experience.&nbsp;How the soldiers in the field cope with the pressures and dangers that&nbsp;these guys face on a daily basis is truly&nbsp;incredible.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">So having said all that&nbsp;I've decided to endanger my own life by dragging my 17 Stone back side&nbsp;for 13 and half miles round Glasgow for this great cause.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 9.5pt;">To my friends, I&rsquo;ll never do this again so give what you can.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 9.5pt;">To my Family, you may never see me again so get your hands in your pockets!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 9.5pt;">To my Consultants who like the big fee's, go and speak to your Directors I expect to see some "CORPORATE" support guys!!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">Thanks For Reading this,&nbsp;I'll let you know how I get on.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">Cheers Scott</span></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
