Story

Dear all

I completed the Marathon on Sunday ,it was a fantastic experience & I really enjoyed but it got very tough at 20 miles -the last 6 were extremely hard work as my legs became very heavy & I felt rather light headed .However I came in at 4hours 57mins which was below my target time of 5 hours .I have attached a picture of how rough I looked after the 26miles but with a well deserved medal!!!

Many Many thanks for all the support & encouragement you have all given me over the last 6 months it has been amazing & sorry if I have bored you stupid with details of my running schedules & activities .

Thank you Saraxxx

I am aiming to raise money for Coeliac UK. Both my father and I have coeliac disease .Coeliac Disease is caused by an intolerence to Gluten found in wheat ,barley oats and rye .If untreated the disease can lead to osteoporosis,intestine cancer and stunted growth .

Coeliac disease can be treated by following a Gluten free diet. Coeliac UK is the only charity which supports the disease and it receives no government funding so they rely on donations

There is evidence to suggest that the prevalence of Coeliac Disease is 1 in 100 people but it is regularly mis-diagnosed

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you

Sara
