Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

1 in 100 people have coeliac disease, yet only 36% are diagnosed. Coeliac UK empowers everyone affected, breaking down barriers, improving everyday life, offering trusted support and advancing research towards a cure. And we do it all so that one day, no one’s life will be limited by gluten.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am delighted at having the opportunity to run in the London Marathon to raise funds for the association that has enabled me to eat confidently with Coeliac disease. Since a bone scan identified my poor bone density I was advised to change my sport from swimming to running.  I hated it but persevered.  Now at 61, with 12 years of 10K running and vey much improved bone density,  I am preparing for this major event.  Please help me to say a huge "thank you" to Coeliac UK. Their food and drink directory and telephone advice are invaluable.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Coeliac UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
