Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running my 6th London marathon in aid of Myositis Support Group, and this is probably my last marathon if I achieve a personal best!

This charity is very close to my heart as my sister was diagnosed with the disease at the tender young age of 6 years old and the charity was founded over 30 years ago which is still run today by my parents and their members, providing support to sufferers, their families and providing vital funds for continuing research into this terrible disease. 

Rather than writing pages of detail about how this awful disease impacts the lives of sufferers, I shall simply put it into context quickly by saying that the pain that I will experience after the gruelling 26.2 miles is nothing in comparison to how Myositis sufferers have to deal with their debilitating conditions on a daily basis!

Every donation that is made to support me will be going straight to the charity so if you are able to spare a fiver or a few quid I would be extremely grateful!

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!
