Michael Jones' Bristol Half Marathon
Michael Jones is raising money for National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS)
Story
Hello!
Thanks for taking the time out to visit this page.
After being told it would be a great idea and a good way to catch up
over the Summer by some friends at Uni, I have entered the Bath half
marathon, which takes place on September 6th.
Rather than simply endure 13.1 miles of running induced discomfort for no reward (apart from the plastic medal!) I decided not to waste the opportunity to raise some money for National Rhumatoid Arthritis Society.
Although raising for this charity might seem somewhat irrelevant, or not as 'glamorous' or heartfelt as other popular charities, many of you are likely to be affected by arthritis at some point during life, whether directly or not and my Mum was a long term sufferer before she sadly died earlier this year.
NRAS is a charity which provides support and information to people with rheumatoid arthritis and their supporting loved ones, helping to reduce the impact of this often debilitating disease on their quality of life.
I am aiming to complete the run in 2 hours, a respectable time considering I’m used to travelling much faster and further by bike and am no natural at running!
If you could donate just a few pounds or more, it would mean a huge amount to me and I WILL thank you personally!
Cheers,
Mike
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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
