Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am running the Adidas Women's 5K Challenge on 6 September 2009. I know that 5K doesn't seem very much but I am a TOTAL amateur and am totally rubbish at running! So it's quite big deal for me.

I am running for the British Dyslexia Association (BDA). The BDA is a national charity. Its vision is a dyslexia friendly society, which enables dyslexic people of all ages to reach their full potential.

• Dyslexia affects 1 in 10 of the population.
• Dyslexia is a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) which mainly affects the development of literacy and language related skills.
• The BDA aims to influence government and other institutions to promote a dyslexia friendly society.   
• The BDA campaigns and lobbies for long lasting and sustainable change for the benefit of dyslexic people.

The work the BDA does is really important and fundraising is a vital source of income to help them continue this good work. Anything amount you can donate will be much appreciated, I know that times are tough. Every little helps, as they say .

Just so you know- donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the BDA gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Which is blumin’ brilliant, as it costs you NOTHING but makes a massive difference to your donation!

Thanks Guys xxx
