I have been lucky to&nbsp;secure one of the ninty two Golden Bond places out of two hundred and thirty applicants, to run for Diabetes UK. This is not only a great honor but a massive personal challenge for me which I am determind to achieve. I have been training since June this year and in five months&nbsp;I am now running ten miles, having never run before in my life. I have another six months to reach my goal of&nbsp;twenty six miles!</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>&nbsp;I am asking you&nbsp;to kindly&nbsp;sponsor me to help support Diabetes UK. The money raised will go towards the continuing reasearch in finding a cure and making life safer and more comfortable for those who&nbsp;are inflicted with this relentless ever increasing disease.&nbsp; As you can well&nbsp;imagine this is a charity very dear to my heart.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Thank you in anticipation,</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Kind Regards,</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Katherine</em></strong></p>
