<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As many of you will know, I am 40 this year and so thought a midlife crisis could do with a challenge to take my mind off it! So a half marathon it is - and this is a challenge for me - as I am certainly not renowned as a sports woman or natural runner. But I have trained and steadily built up the miles, and just very occasionally enjoyed plodding along in the sunshine.</p> <p>So then I thought, if I set up a JustGiving page, this personal goal could help someone else as well. Allergy UK is a small charity but a useful one for anyone with allergy sufferers in their family. It can be scary and bewildering when an allergy is first diagnosed and this charity can give you a lot of information and support.</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>
