Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page! I’m running to support the amazing work that Arthritis Care do. It would be great if you could donate and share my Page so I can raise as much as possible to help them provide information on arthritis to help people take control of their lives. Thank you.

With a young son, I can't commit the time to train for a marathon so I am running the marathon distance of 26.2 miles (42km) over seven days (12th-19th October). I will be running 6k a day. This will involve some early morning starts in the likely grey and cold weather so please help motivate me with your support.

I work for Arthritis Care so I know first hand the difference our work makes to people in overcoming the pain and isolation that arthritis can cause. I've seen first hand how hard it can be for someone to live with pain every day and how easy it is to take your own lack of joint pain for granted. The good news is that there is a lot people can do to help manage with the pain. I want to see everyone who needs it to get support they need to enjoy life and still do the things they want to do.
