Just in case anyone did not sponsor me for the marathon or if anyone wants to sponsor me again.... you can for the Great North Run.  I must admit though that the training has not been quite up to scratch and so it will not be the fastest 1/2 ever...but NRAS would be very appreciative if you could spare a few pounds.

NRAS was launched in 2001 by a group of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients (including its present chief executive, Ailsa Bosworth), who saw a need to provide some focus and a voice for people with this misunderstood disease. "Arthritis" covers over 200 conditions.  Nearly half a million people suffer from RA with is the most common of the inflammatory arthritides and it should not be confused with osteoarthritis.  It is a painful, disabling autoimmune disease and has no known cause or cure.

Donation through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.  It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you very much for your support.
