I may have accosted you already at some point this to sponsor me so i can only apologise but for those who don't know I have decided to run the marathon. Only this this time with a difference. A colleague of mine at Stratford Fire Station informed me that his 6 year old daughter has vitiligo disease, I like many did not really know about the disease but after looking it up and reading about the diagnosis symptoms and suffering I decided that I would run and Olivia would be my cause. Many cases are online at www.vitiligosociety.com

In order to try and raise money I am looking to run in as fast as time as possible but in an extra attempt to make you reach into your pockets and I know that is tight this time of year but I am running the marathon in full fire gear. Why i do not know but think that running it for a good cause and exhausting myself in the process I can try and raise as much money as possible.
