"I chose to run for Action for Children as a way of saying thank you - I was a baby born in one of their maternity homes to a 16-year old girl. They cared for me (and her) after I was born and a couple of months later found me a wonderful adoptive family. Although the charity's work has modernised since those days in the late 1960s, it still provides support to vulnerable children and I wanted to give something back to them. "
"Their support after the race was fantastic – their reception (held just a short hobble from the finish line) was great – especially the shower and the massage!”
- Garry Smith, Action for Children hero in the Flora London Marathon 2007.
