At the end of September I am running the Swansea Bay 10k. This run will be a big challenge for me as it is only my second race. I'm hoping to get fit enough to complete it before I become the lazy student type again!!

Whilst doing the run I hope to raise some money for Afasic. Afasic is a charity that provides support for children with speech and language impairment and their families. It provides information, training and meeting points around the country for parents of children with speech and language impairment as well as running youth groups and projects for the children themselves. Afasic is seeking to raise awareness and provide equal opportunities for children with speech and language impairment and improve the services offered to them. 

In my job I have spoken to several parents who have told me that Afasic has been a life saver when dealing with their children's needs and that is why I would like to raise money for this charity.
