<p>Hello there!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I've been running on and off since last Autumn and decided now it's time to finally make it official!! I will be running 10km around the centre of Bristol on 20th of May 2012 and as it will be my first race of any kind, my main goal is to FINISH!! I am however endorsing on the 8 week training programme and will try to finish in under <span style="color: #999999;">1h&nbsp;</span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">EDIT: 45 minutes!</span></strong> Let's see how it goes!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Even though I've left my country some years ago and chose to do my research abroad, I have not forgotten where I've come from. It is just heartbreaking to see how under equipped some medical facilities still are back home...</p> <p>That's why I'm raising money for the<strong><em> </em></strong><em><strong>Medical Aid for Poland Fund,</strong> </em>the Charity founded in 1981 by the Federation of Poles in Great Britain. Over the years they have sent millions of pounds of assistance, not only to the hospitals, but also to care homes, children's homes, special schools and on occasions individuals in need of help. There is a great need for a younger generation to become involved if the organisation is to continue, and on present showing it looks as if there may still be a need for it in the years to come, even though Poland is in the European Union... So please dig deep and help me make a little bit of difference today :)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>oh, and if you are the UK tax payer don't forget to tick the "Gift Aid" box so that they recieve an extra 25% on all donations!!</p>
