Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My daughter, Amelia-Grace, was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis a couple of years back now after a series of trips back and forth with various referrals before we got a diagnosis. Very similarly to Arthritis she can have good and bad days, however with the magic of modern medicine we get a lot more good days these days compared to bad. However that comes at the cost of weekly medications either liquid of via an injection akin to an EpiPen, and 6 weekly eye tests, but even at the age of 6 she battles through it all! She's enjoyed taking stories into school to explain to her friends about her abilities (with thanks to the book "The Abilities In Me"). Doing this run to raise money for an amazing research charity Juvenile Arthritis Research (JAR).

On November 2nd I am going to be running the Great Yarmouth (East Coast) 10k. This is massive for me, I only started running in January this year (yes, a new year's resolution that actually stuck!) using the CouchTo5K app on my lunch hour to make sure I took a break, and to stop being lazy! It wasn't a great role model for my girls! I progressed through the program and now find myself hitting >5k in my lunch hour with bags of time to spare. I've taken on a couple of 10k runs hitting under the hour, so it's time to push it with a race!
