Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As you will now know I am running this years Asics British 10K in London on Sunday 10th July 2011. I am running it to raise much needed funds for a small and very worth while charity.</p> <p>The charity is called the AKU Society. Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare genetic disease that affects less than 1 in 250,000 people.</p> <p>More info can be found on the AKU website: http://www.alkaptonuria.info/380158</p> <p>Two of my girlfirend's family members, both boys, both only children, have this rare disease so I'm hoping to raise as much money as I can to help support this charity.</p> <p>Here is a link to the AKU site: http://www.alkaptonuria.info/home</p> <p>Here is a link to the British 10k site: http://www.thebritish10klondon.co.uk/Frameset/British10K2011.htm</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
