Hi Everyone
I am running the London Marathon this year in aid of the Starlight Children’s Charity. Starlight grants wishes of a lifetime to seriously and terminally ill children; and entertains over 500,000 children with fun and laughter in every hospital and hospice throughout the UK. All Starlight's activities are aimed at distracting children from the pain, fear and isolation they can often feel as a result of their illness and at strengthening family bonds at what is often a time of great stress. Starlight does not receive funding from the government or the National Lottery and relies on the generosity of people like you. I have attached a document outlining what they do. I have set myself a target of £5,000 to raise and would like to ask for your support in helping me get there. I ran the London Marathon 32 years ago and managed to get round in just over 4 hours. I am hoping to get somewhere near that this year although given that a lot of time has passed since then I will just be happy to get round in one piece. I have set up a fundraising page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/DavidStrickson Please support the charity and donate whatever you can for this wonderful cause. Thanks in advance David Strickson --------------------------------------------------------------- |
