My journey,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! 

 Every year with out fail I tell all my friends and family my New Years resolution is to lose weight and get fit, and every year I fail usually by the 10th January :( 

So why is this year different?? 

Simple really I have started running. Yes me running who would of thought it? After never running before other than jogging/walking around the school field and weighing in at a massive 16 stone 3lbs with bad knee problems. It was not the obvious choice.

However now 4 months and over 3 stone later It's time for my next challenge. "The Great North Run". Not only is this an excellent opportunity for me to push myself to the next level of running but I also have the Huge honour of being able to do it for the Anothony Nolan Trust. I am going to try and raise awareness for the Trust and get as many people as I can join the donor register. Here is a little information of some of the amazing work they do.

For the past 35 years, we’ve been the best chance for thousands of people who’ve urgently needed stem cell transplants. We’re good at what we do, but we know that for every person we help, there is another who misses that chance. Our mission has always been to save lives so we’re going to do better. For some people, it really does mean the difference between life and death.

 

We’ve got a long history of innovation. We created the world’s first register of people willing to donate their stem cells and now we have the UK’s first dedicated cord blood bank. Our research institute is one of the leading in the world. We constantly seek ways to improve the success of stem cell transplants using cutting edge technology. 

 

Every one of Anthony Nolan’s staff channels our forward-thinking vision, from signing up record numbers of potential lifesavers to banking hundreds of precious cords.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story if you feel you could spare some money for an amazing cause please donate if not please could you spread the word and share my just giving page.

Adam
