<p><em>"I recall saying that when I ran the London Marathon in 2010 it was most definitely to be the first and last time! However a very persuasive Sarah Burnard from Hope for Home convinced me (and reminded me) how much I enjoyed the experience and also how generous our friends and family had been in raising an enormous amount of money. We continue to rely on your generosity , so please any money you can spare will make a real and direct difference to those that really need it. Thank you."</em> <strong>Phil</strong></p>
<p> "<em>Last year I ran the London marathon for this very worthy charity and between us we raised a great deal of money. The run itself did not go as I had hoped resulting in a rather long stop off in a recovery tent!! So I spoke to Sarah from Hope for Home and decided to give it another go this year and I have been busy training hard. We received a great deal of generosity last year which has helped many families stay closer to their loved ones for longer. Please continue to support us this year by giving kindly again"</em>.<span> </span><strong>Darren</strong></p>
