Hi Everyone,

As you are aware we are running the Edinburgh Marathon on the 23rd of May 2010 to raise money for the Parkinson's Disease Society and the Mental Health Foundation. 

Both charities mean something to both of us and our families so we are trying to raise as much as possible throughout our training before we attempt the dreaded 26.2 mile run!  Training is going to plan so far, the snowy weather and numerous night shifts have not dampened our enthusiasm and determination to be ready for the big day.

So how can your money help?

For those of you who do not know, Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological condition, which causes restriction of everyday movements that many people take for granted such as walking, talking and even smiling.  There is no cure for this awful disease.

Parkinson's Disease Society is a charity which puts money into not only reasearch for a cure but also looks at ways to improve treatements and the lives of those with the condition.  It also provides information, advice and education.  To find out more visit www.parkinsons.org.uk

Secondly we are raising money for the Mental Health Foundation, a charity which helps people to survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems and to tackle the stigma attached to mental illness.  Again for more information visit www.mentalhealth.org.uk

So what are you waiting for?

Sponsor us and donate money to these two worthy charities, donate to either one or both of them, it's up to you!

All donations made on this page go towards the Parkinson's Disease Society

Our other page where you can donate to the Mental Health Foundation is at www.justgiving.com/rhodandrhi

 

Thanks for all your support

Best Wishes

Rhod and Rhi
