Asics Reading Half Marathon 2008 · 2 March 2008 ·

NASS is only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people with axial spondyloarthritis (AS), a painful, progressive rheumatic disease which mainly affects the spine. An estimated 200,000 people live with AS in the UK. Our 90+ branches across the UK offer regular exercise to anyone with AS.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I was diagnosed in 1985 and finally came to terms with my condition last year when I joined NASS, and began to attend the physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions that they run at my local hospital.

The help, support and friendship that the group have given me is immeasurable, and I would like to help NASS by trying to raise some money for the organisation.

Consequently, I am to attempt the Reading Half Marathon in March, but I won't be running it because I can't run,  but walking. My target is something around three hours and I hope  not to be swept up by the street cleaning machines at the back of the field!!! 

Training isn't really going according to plan, but that's the AS and anyone who has it knows exactly what I mean.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
