Those of you who have known me for a long time might remember me talking about my Canadian cousin Dianne. I never met her, but we used to correspond by email a lot. One of the reasons that I never met her was that she had a lot of health problems, which ended up claiming her life at a very young age a few years ago. Her brother, my cousin Mark, is going to be running a marathon to raise funds for the hospital that cared for her (and also my uncle John in his final illness). Specifically, he is raising money to go to the clinical research department of Ottawa hospital, which is a world leader in various areas, and so the money will help people all over the world because the research they do there is THAT important.
Mark is doing REALLY well in raising funds (he's a bit of a local celebrity in Canada), but if any of you can nudge him a bit closer to his target,
