Anna's Leeds Half Marathon 2014 page
Anna Sharrott is raising money for Leeds Hospitals Charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am running Leeds Half Marathon, as well as completing various other 10k races and obstacle courses to hopefully raise funds for The Yorkshire Brain Research Centre!
The Leeds Teaching Hospitals Charitable Foundation launched a new Brain Research Appeal in January to raise £2 million by 2015 towards a final total of £6m in the longer term future. The fundraising appeal will create a world-class Yorkshire Brain Research Centre to help tackle life-limiting brain conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis and Dementia.
This is going to be a long term problem for us, as a generation.
Currently 1 in 6 adults suffer from diseases of the brain and there is an expectation that with an ageing population brain conditions will be a ticking time bomb. Please dig deep for this very worthy cause - you just don't know when you might need to rely on this valuable research.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
