My story

Yoo-hoo! It's true!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've gone completely insane and decided to run the London Marathon, so spare a thought for me when you are tucking into your fry-up on Sunday 26th April...or...better still, come and see just how frizzy my hair can get!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'm running for bones!

1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will break a bone, mainly because of osteoporosis. Your donations mean an enormous amount to me, and the National Osteoporosis Society is a fantastic cause to support, which makes a real difference to the lives of many, many people. So please sponsor me now!

Thanks again for your support ...and please do come along; my afro awaits!!

This site is totally secure and all the money goes straight to the charity. Please also remember to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK taxpayer.
