Story

<p>Hi all!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I took up running in Autumn 2010 after feeling ashamed watching women three times my age and twice my size running in a half marathon near my house. I'm not quite ready for a half marathon yet but I am challenging myself to run this 10km (6.2 miles) for a great cause- Doctors of the World UK. I volunteer at one of their projects in East London, offering advocacy and clinical care for London's most vulnerable and marginalised people. I get to see first hand what a difference money donated to the charity can make.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now- I want to SMASH my &pound;150 target- hopefully I will raise LOADS more!!</p>
