Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>I'm Running the London Marathon in memory of my Nan and support of the <span style="color: #ff00ff;">MARY ANN EVANS HOSPICE</span><br></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Peggy Eardley </span>was a wonderful, beautiful, inspirational woman.&nbsp; She touched the hearts, minds and lives of everyone she ever met.&nbsp; </strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Sadly in June she was diagnosed with cancer and died shortly after in August.&nbsp; In her last couple of months she needed constant care and my family needed help.&nbsp; One charity, a tiny, local charity stepped up to help when many others didn't. </strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">The Mary Ann Evans Hospice</span>.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Mary Ann Evans Hospice isn't a big corporate organisation.&nbsp; They don't have&nbsp;hundreds of marketeers and&nbsp;thousands of benefactors.&nbsp; In fact they have a daily deficit of &pound;1200!!!!&nbsp; They need our help to keep going.&nbsp; To provide support for hundreds of people and their families who are struggling with the reality of their final weeks.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Shortly before my nan died I promised her I'd run THE LONDON MARATHON, to be honest I didn't think they'd accept me.&nbsp; But they did!&nbsp; So now I have to run it!&nbsp; Please support me and help me raise thousands for other families in their time of need.&nbsp; <br></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Thanks.
