Dear Fans and Friends,
Bradley has asked that I pass along his thank you letter
to all of you for your help in contributions to his Dad’s favourite charity, the
DLRAA. Please feel free to share this letter with anyone else who you think may
have contributed as the JustGiving.com page did not reveal individual email addresses.
Today is Bradley’s birthday and I think this is probably the best birthday he has
ever had! I have attached some photos of him from the marathon as well….
Cheers to you all!

To quote an experienced marathon runner, “My heart will thank me - my
feet won't.”
Dear Friends and EH Fans, After participating in last week’s 26K Marathon
in Los Angeles, I definitely would agree with the quotation above. Never in my life
have I experienced both the joy and pain of something so rewarding. Many of you
may ask why I decided to take on such a arduous challenge such as this, but to me
it was something I not only wanted to prove to myself but to show my gratitude to
the thousands of people whose lives are saved each day with the help of what I kindly
refer to as “Air Angels” You may all recall a few years back when my sister Louise’s
daughter, Olivia, was in a horrific car accident. Had it not been for the expedient
and experienced help of the air ambulance in Texas, one can only imagine what tragedy
may have befallen on our family. This marathon was my way of saying “thank you”
and giving back to people who render the miracles that we so often take for granted.
As for my father’s involvement with the DLRAA , for which he is extremely proud
to be a Patron and ongoing supporter of their efforts, this was a chance for a son
to acknowledge to the “Son of Leicester” the love and pride I feel for his relentless
talent of touching the hearts of so many people. While my stamina and running endurance
had begun to grow weaker upon reaching the 18th mile of this magnificent event,
my pride remained steadfast….I can honestly say that I felt my grandparents spirit
carrying me past the finish line. This definitely was the best birthday present
I could ever have given myself! I can only say that my Dad has the greatest fans
in the world. Through your support and loyalty through the years, you have once
again proven that “All You Have To Do Is Ask.” Because of you, a grand £1150 was
raised for the DLRAA…and amounts are still rolling in. To all who took the time
to care….to all who took the time to share, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Cheers and God Bless You One and All! Bradley Dorsey
