<p>Hi Everyone</p> <p>I have chosen Arthritis Research UK, as my charity for the Virgin London 2012 Marathon on Sunday 22nd April. I have spent the last 8 years working in our mobility shop and have come into contact with people with this common condition, so it feels right to run on behalf of this charity.</p> <p>There are over 200 different types of arthritis, the most common being osteoarthritis. Many arthritis sufferers are between 30 and 50 years old. It's not just an older persons's disease!</p> <p>Wish me luck as I continue to train and"clock up" those miles. The "BIG DAY" is nearly here!!!!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
