<p>Having ran some half marathons in 2010 I decided now was the time to go the full 26 miles.</p>
<p><span><span><span class="intro">I am running for The National Osteoporosis Society, the only UK wide charity dedicated to improving the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. </span></span></span><span>1 </span><span>in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 in the UK will fracture a bone, mainly as a result of Osteoporosis. The cause of the disease is still not understood, but research continues to build up a picture of the factors that influence our bone health.</span></p>
<p>Training highlights this year include more half distance races in St Albans (23rd January) Brighton (20th February) and Liverpool (27th March).</p>
<p>Rest assured I will be trying my hardest from now until the finish line on 17th April 2011. In the meantime any donation of any size is a help and very much appreciated. I look forward to reading your supportive comments below!</p>
