Back in April I decided to start running to help raise funds for the UCL Amyloidosis Research Fund .

Amyloidosis is a group of rare but serious diseases caused by deposits of abnormal protein, called amyloid, in tissues and organs throughout the body.
As many of you may know, my lovely mum Margaret Mason, has had a tough few years battling this disease and with the help of The National Amyloidosis Centre, The Bradford Royal Infirmary and St Luke’s Dialysis Unit her condition has improved dramatically.
To raise money and awareness I am going to run in a number of organised events and am asking people kindly to donate to this cause that has helped my mum so much over the past few years through sponsoring me in these challenges.
I have completed the following events so far:
• Pudsey 10k
• Leeds 10k
• Cheshire - Arley Hall Half Marathon
• The Stoop Fell Race
• Chevin Chase Trail and Fell Race
• Soreen Stanbury Splash Fell Race
• Ilkley Moor Fell Race
• Bradford Parkrun
• Baildon Boundary Way - Half Marathon
The main event is Windermere marathon on the 17th May 2015. For anyone who is interested, I will keep you posted of all the events I am taking part in through the blog pages of my Running for Amyloidosis website.
