This run means a lot to me for many different reasons.</p> <p>I have chosen to sponsor the pituitary foundation as having had cushings myself and three transsphenoidal operations to remove the tumor I personally know first hand what suffering from pituitary realated diseases is like and I sympathise with those who have similar issues. The pituitary foundation is a wonderful charity and needs as much support as possible to help sufferers and their familes with pituitary disorders.</p> <p>I am hoping that the training involved with help with my fitness and getting myself back to the Alenka that I was before I had cushings. Running when you are triple the size you should be is never easy and working your way back to fitness is an uphill struggle. I am hoping this is the first of many run's and they will encourage me to keep on getting fitter and fitter.</p> <p>As you can see there are many different reasons why this run means a lot to me and I hope to complete it without collapsing in a heap before the end. So please dig really deep as the pituitary foundation is a GREAT charity and really needs your help.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>PLEASE DONATE NOW!!!!</p>
