Story

<p><strong>Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</strong></p> <p>I decided upon attempting the Brighton Marathon in 2012 but having forgotten to register for the ballot I missed out. However I decided upon taking up a Charity place. I wanted to find a charity that was local to me and did amazing work. Although a good friend works for the charity I chose <strong>(Special Effect)</strong> which was the first reason for choosing it, I am pleased to say it ticked all the boxes - especially with the fantastic work they do.</p> <p>Please check out:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btHMqz-RpH8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btHMqz-RpH8</a></p> <p>I am aiming to raise <strong>&pound;500 </strong>although I would love to surpass this target. Small steps though! If I can get to <strong>&pound;150 </strong>then I will run the marathon in fancy dress.I have 3 options shown on the site so your vote/opinion would be welcome or another suggestion if you have one. I definitely will not run it in a Man City shirt though!</p> <p>I know times are very hard at the moment so if you can spare anything at all then that would really be appreciated. Quite a few people have said they would buy me a beer for doing it but if you would like to sponsor me the cost of a beer than that would be much more prefered.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Training Start Date: 1st January 2012</p> <p><strong>Training Miles Completed: 305</strong></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Longest Run:&nbsp;15.6 miles </strong></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
