Blooming Nora!! Rachel's about to do some exercise!! For CHARITY! (Really, would I do it for any other reason?)

On the 7th December, I shall be doing a 5k run in Liverpool dressed as Santa!! All the money I raise I have decided I'd rather give to a charity of my choice than one of the ones suggested. I shall be donating all money raised to The Scoliosis Association (UK).

The Scoliosis Association is a charity very close to my heart due to my experience with scoliosis. They are working on initiatives such as having nurses visit all secondary schools to provide a free check for scoliosis. If I had had such a service offered to me, I probably would have avoided three years of pain and two serious operations.

I therefore am raising money to aid schemes such as this and further scoliosis research, in the hope that one day someone else will suffer less because of it.

This is a link to my facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=35457758260&ref=mf Anyone may join this group: you don't have to sponsor me, you can just give me some support me and laugh at the photos afterwards =)

If you would prefer to donate to me in person or send a cheque to me or straight to the scoliosis association, that's absolutely fine =)

However, donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scoliosis Association (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!
