2 hour training session complete :) half hour of running, half hour of aerobics and the rest muscle work out!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Cardiff Half Marathon on October the 14th for Verity - PCOS, I have chosen this charity, because it affects millions of women in the world and it affects me.

It causes infertility problems and in later life can increase your risk of diabetes, stroke and heart problems. This can also be a genetic disorder.

You can't see this condition so it is a long diagnoses procedure, with many blood tests and scans. Although treatable it is not curable!

Please help us spread the information on this and donate.
