BUPA Great South Run 2008 · 26 October 2008 ·

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.

Here I go again. Now in my sixtieth year ( sounds more impressive than saying I am 59 years old !! ) running is the way I can help Coeliac UK. I enjoy the blood, sweat and tears most of the time and i need your help to get me through the bits I don't enjoy - like the early mornings, the rain and the frustration of thinking that perhaps that last packet of Bombay mix wasn't such a clever idea after all.

Actually I am doing a personal challenge of the New Forest half marathon at the end of September, the Royal Parks half marathon in mid October and the Great South at the end of October. If I get through that lot I reckon I deserve your donation. Go on, you will only waste it on your self if you don't send it the Coeliac way.

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!  Thanks for reading the page.
