My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 Vanessa (mum & very nearly 50!) and Sophie (daughter & a mere 21!) are hoping to complete the London Marathon on 22nd April.

Arthritis is a horrible disease that does not receive the funding that is so desperately needed. We are trying to do our bit and are asking for your help.

Watching a loved one suffer with arthritis makes you feel incredibly helpless and by running the London Marathon it is our way of 'doing our bit'.

Training is well under way now and it hurts!

Please,please help us to help find a cure for arthritis.

Thank you so much,

Vanessa & Sophie xx
