Again the bug has bitten.

On Sunday 15th April 2012 I shall be running 26 and a bit miles in the third Brighton Marathon.

Again, I shall be running for that most excellent of children's charities - The Place2Be - want to know why then watch the video here http://bit.ly/AgTuO1.  I know it is only a year since my last request for sponsorship so please feel free to donate what you can afford - just another £499 will mean we will have raised £3,000.

To see what a difference your donation could make please go to: http://www.theplace2be.org.uk/stories.aspx?menuid=3

The Place2Be provides excellent value for money and only a small donation can make a real difference.

So...

Today’s primary school children face all kinds of challenges that threaten to derail them, from gang culture on our streets to abuse at home. Unless they are given the means to cope, their feelings of sadness, fear and anger can easily spill over in the classroom – and in society. Whilst some children may become disruptive, others will withdraw completely, shutting everyone out.

If these children are to stand a chance of getting their lives back on track, they need our help - and they need it now, not later.

The Place2Be is uniquely placed to provide this help. They work inside primary schools to support and nurture troubled children, giving them the means to move past their problems and build the foundations for a successful life.

Please give as generously as you can, your sponsorship can make a real difference by helping to fund more of the excellent work of the Place2Be.

Thanks
Simon
