Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Imagine being told your toddler you thought was healthy, but perhaps slow to progress, in fact had a rare and devastating disability that would leave them needing lifelong 24/7 care. Rett syndrome changes lives irrevocably. With your support Rett UK is there from the beginning. #ToKnowHerIsToLoveHer

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Yes, I really am planning to run the London Marathon in April.

Although I have wanted to do this for a while I still feel hopelessly ill-prepared and am just hoping to complete the course, not too concerned with the time.

I am running to raise funds for the Rett Syndrome Association so that they can continue to give support to families with a Rett Syndrome member as well as fund research into the causes and possible treatments that may become available.

Please consider sponsoring me as the more sponsorship I receive, the more pressure I will feel to complete the full 26.2 miles.  (How far? I must be mad to even attempt this.)

Ah well, there's no going back now, so please wish me luck.

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