Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 25th April I will be competing in the Virgin London Marathon. I have chosen to run 26.2 miles for the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society as it is a charity that holds personal significance. For the past 28 years, my mum has been suffering with this debilitating condition for which there is currently no cure. Any money I can raise will go help to support people with this degenerative disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive and disabling auto-immune disease affecting 0.8% of the UK adult population. It is a painful condition, can cause severe disability (this varies between individuals and depends on how severe/aggressive the disease is) and ultimately affects a person’s ability to carry out everyday tasks. The disease can progress very rapidly (again the speed of progression varies widely between individuals), causing swelling and damaging cartilage and bone around the joints.
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.
