Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is my first (and last!!) marathon attempt and I am a little (well very) scared. I am aiming to raise money for coeliac uk as my daughter was diagnosed with coeliac disease 4 years ago after becoming very ill. The difference in her from then is amazing! Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Imagine never being able to eat bread, pasta, cakes, biscuits, beer etc. Izzy has dealt with it amazingly and knows clearly what she can and can't eat, but it isn't easy. She is hates being the odd one out at school and often will refuse party invitations as she dislikes standing out with her own food.

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.
