Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon on 3 October 2021 to raise money for Lupus UK.  As many of you will know - Jules' Mum (Satnam) suffers with Lupus - an auto-immune disease.  Lupus UK is a fabulous charity that supports sufferers and funds research into causes and treatment of Lupus.  

Lupus is believed to be a hereditary disease - which affects thousands - and can also be triggered in various other ways.

I have previously run the London Marathon back in 2008 (see photo above) - in support of Lupus UK.  Suffering from tendonitis in both knees, I limped around the course in 4 hours 18 minutes.  This time - I am aiming to be around an hour or so quicker (although still around an hour and a bit slower than Sir Mo) - to again raise money to support Lupus UK.

If you can support me in raising money for Lupus UK - to continue their research and support sufferers of Lupus - I'd really appreciate it. Contributions to charities such as Lupus UK have (understandably) dropped over the last couple of years.  So, if you can help them - that would be fantastic.

I am more than happy to send through evidence of my pain and suffering after the event - for those who like that sort of thing!

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.

Thanks for your support. Wish me luck!
