The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26 miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall. Since the first race in 1981, 746,635 runners have passed the finish line and raised more than £400 million for charities and good causes. Last year alone a staggering £47.2 million was raised, making the event a Guinness World Record holder as the largest annual fundraising event on the planet.

Fatboy - slim runs the Marathon for Hemihelp

Hi, what better way can there be to mark my transition from couch potato to Olympian athlete...ok slight exaggeration I didn’t always lay on the couch, but to run a marathon.  Not only run a marathon but run it for such a great charity called HemiHelp which has helped and advised not only Rebecca & I but hundreds of parents over the years who, like us, have a child with left or right sided Hemiplegia.

So it's this once only time, I ask all of you to dig deep, forget the recession, the credit card bills, and take 2 minutes 20 seconds to show your generosity towards what is a very worthy charity that really has helped parents in caring and coping with Hemiplegia. 

Ok that's knocked half my friends out but can the remainder do what they can!  Whatever you can give will be hugely appreciated, and you can sit back on your couch feeling good for the rest of the day:)

Thanks,

Richard

PS. The photos of Mia are all thanks to Hemihelp organising activities that children with hemiplegia would never really get the opportunity to do.
