Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've decided to set myself the challenge of running my first marathon and plan to take on Lake Rotorua by running the 42km around it, on 5th May.

I'd like to raise money for Antibiotic Research UK, the world's first charity dedicated exclusively to tackling bacterial antibiotic resistance. This is a serious and very scary threat to modern medicine as we're running out of antibiotics that work. The prediction is that without urgent action, by 2025, we could see a return to the pre-antibiotic era. It is a global issue and it affects us all regardless of age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Please consider sponsoring me and donating to this very worthy cause. But no pressure and I hope that at the least, I can help to raise a little more awareness about the issue. Next time a doctor tells you that you don't need antibiotics, please respect their advice. As prescribers, we need to be more careful with the antibiotics we have left. 

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.
