My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I completed the race yesterday in 2hrs 5mins. Thank you to everyone for their very generous donations and support for this very worthwhile cause.

Joseph, my nephew, was diagnosed with Perthes Disease last September. I'm running this, my first half marathon, to raise awareness of his condition, and to ensure that he and his family, as well as many others, receive the necessary equipment and financial/emotional support they need.

Perthes Disease (a potentially crippling disease of the hip) is a form of osteochondritis, which affects 5.5 per 100,000 children (mainly boys) between the ages of 2 and 15 years.

It's a childhood disorder which affects the head of the femur (the ball of the ball and socket joint of the hip). The blood supply to the growth plate of the bone at the end of the femur (called the epiphysis) becomes inadequate. As a result the bone softens and breaks down (a process called necrosis).

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: PERTHES ASSOCIATION 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!
