Stephanie<br />

Smith<br />

Peterborough 42473<br />

Stephanie, 18 (Feb<strong>2010</strong>), lost a very dear friend to her at the<br />

young age of 18 from meningitis. Stephanie decided that as soon<br />

as she turned 18 and was old enough she would run in her<br />

friend's memory for a charity close to heart. "Thommy was the<br />

most genuine and outgoing person who never failed to make me<br />

laugh. It is obvious that I had to do something for her and I know<br />

that she will keep me motivated and determined to complete he<br />

marathon."<br />
