Story

<p><span id="result_box" lang="es"><span class="hps">Gracias por tomarse el</span> <span class="hps">tiempo para visitar mi</span> <span class="hps">p&aacute;gina.</span></span></p> <p><span lang="es"><span class="hps">You wouldn't beelieve it but I am actually&nbsp;excited to be taking part, and possibly finishing, the Berlin Marathon 2011. I would be lying if I said that along with excitement there wasn't a touch of apprehension. However, that would surely pale into the apprehension the bees would feel if they were able to stop making honey for a mo and&nbsp;sit back and take a look at their not fully explained decline over the past few years. </span></span></p> <p><span lang="es"><span class="hps">Fortunately I don't think they can. In any event, I therefore hope to do both them and me a favour by getting round this marathon, take in a few unfamiliar sites along the way and by doing so fund enough research so to stop the decline. </span></span></p> <p><span lang="es"><span class="hps">My generosity is only as much as you allow it to bee. I am therefore&nbsp;truly grateful&nbsp;to anyone that contributes however much to aid such an important cause. </span></span></p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now and I will do my beest to honour the cause.</p>
