Story

To all my friends, family and enemies (if I have any).

I need to raise £1,500 to run in this years LondonMarathon and am training every day liking crazy!

I am doing this for a great cause which is to help people with arthritis including the girl in the picture, imagine being 4years old and having problems walking and being in constant pain, so as i am able to walk and run i thought id put that to good use to help people who cant.

I need people to sponsor me to hit my target. Please tell your family and friends too!

here is a story from someone i know:

“My wife, Jan, has suffered with Arthritis, originally in her neck, for the past 17 years since she turned 40 but it has been controlled by anti-inflammatory drugs supplemented by herbal remedies such as Glucosomine & Chondroitin and these have certainly helped. Recently she has been getting a lot of pain from a toe joint but a bridge support insert for her shoe has initially helped this considerably. Unfortunately she knows that Arthritis is a degenerative condition and naturally worries about the future. From my family point of view I know how my late Grandfather suffered – to the extent that he lost 2 fingers as the pain became too great to bear.
