Reading Half Marathon 2013 · 17 March 2013 ·

Sjögren’s Syndrome is debilitating, distressing, under recognised and under treated. Glands that produce tears and salvia or secretions of the vagina, skin and bowel stop working, it causes muscle or joint pain, low mood and extreme fatigue. The BSSA supports sufferers and raises awareness.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have set myself a couple of challenges for 2013 - I am running (jogging/crawling) my first Half Marathon in March and will also be doing my first ever Sprint Triathlon in September.  Mid-life crisis clearly in full flow! 

 

I am supporting a small and little known charity – the BSSA – who support and raise awareness for sufferers of a little known illness, Sjogren’s Syndrome.  I’d never heard of this until someone I love was diagnosed with it and now I would like to help to raise money and awareness of something that is debilitating and life limiting, but with no physical outward symptoms is not something that you would ever know someone was suffering from just by looking at them.  Clues come in them falling asleep in night clubs mind!  I joke, but this illness has completely changed the life of someone who was once very active – running 2 marathons in 1 year – to someone who barely has the energy to simply get through the day.  Please, if you can donate even a little, I know it will go a long way to helping those sufferers.  Thank you, Jen xxx

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
