Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

1 in 100 people have coeliac disease, yet only 36% are diagnosed. Coeliac UK empowers everyone affected, breaking down barriers, improving everyday life, offering trusted support and advancing research towards a cure. And we do it all so that one day, no one’s life will be limited by gluten.

Story

<p class="iphone-update">Six days to go &amp; twenty six miles to run! I can't wait to get to this time next week!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am running the London Marathon to help raise awareness for Coeliac Disease which my little girl, Lily aged 8, has had for the past six years. She copes brilliantly with it &amp; rarely moans when she misses out. She is now really well &amp; I want to thank Coeliac UK for all their help when Lily was first diagnosed by giving something back.</p> <p>Next time you eat something, eat in a restaurant or simply do the grocery shopping see if you can make sure nothing has gluten (no wheat, rye, barley or oats) &amp; that nothing gets contaminated (no sharing butter or toasters etc) - it's a constant challenge to make sure your child doesn't get ill!</p> <p>As a&nbsp;truly terrible runner (&amp; now with a ruined knee) this will be a huge achievement just to get round the course. I am hoping that you will support me in doing this &amp; donate to this worthwhile cause. Anything that you can donate will be very gratefully received.</p> <p>For more info on Coeliac UK please visit:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac-disease/what-is-coeliac-disease">http://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac-disease/what-is-coeliac-disease</a></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Beth</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
