My mum was a real fighter and never used to let her illness&nbsp;get in the way of&nbsp;things she loved to do, but unfortunately due to her medication her immune system would often become very low. As a result, she developed pneumonia and quietly passed away on 27th September 2001. For me, aged 20, my life changed instantly&nbsp;and has never been the same since.</p> <p>I miss my mum so much and never had the opportunity to thank her for being a great mother and such an inspiration which is why I'm&nbsp;running the 2012 Virgin London Marathon in aid of Arthritis Care.</p> <p>Please help me along my journey by sponsoring me&nbsp;to run&nbsp;for this fantastic cause.&nbsp;Your help and support is very much appreciated.</p> <p>James</p>
