<p><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #ff1493;">As most of you know my husband, Andrew Kennedy was tragically killed on 29th August 2009 in a road traffic collision. Andrew was loved my so many, including myself, family and many of his friends. Andrew is sadly missed by all who knew him, as he was a tremendous inspiration to others.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #ff1493;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Since 2010, myself and a group of Andrew's close friends have raised almost £4000 for the Charity, Brake whilst taking part in various fundraising events including the Manchester 10k in 2010, Leeds Half Marathon 2010 , Great North Run 2010, Edinburgh Marathon 2011 and walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks. After being injured whilst running the Edinburgh Marathon 2011, I have again decided to have</span><span style="color: #800080;"> another bash at the 26.2 miles despite the ongoing difficulties with my patella.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">This year I am running the marathon with two amazing friends (Kat and Irfan) who are both raising money for cancer charites. If it were not for these two, I probably would have given up on my training by now! Although I do know that this will be the last full marathon that I will be running. I do however know that my close family and friends are probably thinking "yeah whatever", as I said exactly the same thing in May 2011! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">The training over the last few weeks has not been easy, but I am positive that Andrew and also my Dad will give me the strength to get through the 26.2 miles </span><span style="color: #800080;">again, whether I am injured or not. I am therefore again please asking</span><span style="color: #800080;"> people to sponsor Team Kens for a third</span><span style="color: #800080;"> year, so that further money can be raised for the road safety charity, Brake who work with victims and families who have been bereaved or injured through road traffic accidents. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">"</span><span style="color: #000000;"><em><span style="color: #000000;">Every 30 seconds someone, somewhere in the world, is killed in a road crash.The misery of road deaths and injuries and the pollution caused by vehicles is a shameful epidemic that must end". </span></em><em> </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">So please dig deep and donate now.</span></p>
