Hi everyone, I have been a member of GR for years, but normally just sit quietly in the background reading threads, but I HAD to post a message to say how proud I am of my husband. He ran the London Marathon yesterday on behalf of MENCAP and has raised almost £5000. Our daughter Eliza, has special needs and ADHD and she can be quite hard work sometimes so Tim wanted to do something to help those who might not be so fortunate. If you would like to help or just see how he is doing you can go to www*justgiving*com/4eliza It was his first Marathon and he said it was the hardest thing he has ever done. BUT I AM SO PROUD!! Thanks Jules
