<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On the 17th April 2011 I ran the London Marathon - yes the big one!! - and i managed it in 3:10:37 - which took a monumental effort but thanks to all the amazing support i have received i crossed the line (and proceeded to collapse minutes later!)</p> <p>I ran for a fantastic charity called LOOK &ndash; The National Federation of Families with Visually Impaired Children. They are a wonderful charity that assists with the families and carers of visually impaired children as well as helping the children themselves.</p> <p>They provide much needed support not just to the children but to those around them - for instace helping them cope with all sorts of situations and providing a network of support by being there for eachother and sharing advice to help everyone.</p> <p>I have a target to raise &pound;1400 for LOOK - its pretty ambitious, so i'm looking for all the help I can get people!</p> <p>So I emplore you all to please donate - I know you may get constant requests for these things but this is a really fantastic charity and even if your donation is &pound;10, &pound;5, or even just &pound;1 - it all counts, helps this amazing charity, and helps hit the target too.</p> <p>At the end of the day we can all pledge at least a pound can't we??? this is a small charity without massive overheads so funds can directly help people here and make a genuine difference.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to read and happy donating!</p> <p>Mark Gale</p>
