Ta for dropping by!
So I've come up with the idea of running 2 half marathons this year! Waa! Those who know me will know that I've never been much of a runner, so it comes as just as much a surprise to me as it does to you! :)
Recently my dad was diagnosed with Sjorgen's Syndrome, an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the tear and saliva glands. There is no cure for this under-recognised and under-treated condition, and having seen the affect its had on my dad's life I hope to raise as much money as possible in order to raise awareness of the disease and support research into its cause and treatment.
Sjorgen's Syndrome is closely linked with another autoimmune condition, Rheumatoid Arthritis, which my dad also has. He was diagnosed with this illness over thirty years ago. I am also raising money for Athritis UK.
