On May 12th, 2013 I will be running 13 miles around Leeds in order to raise money for the charity CMT. This is something my dad has suffered from since childhood and so hopefully this money will go towards finding a cure for people being born with it now.

Update: I did it! It took me around 2 hours which I was really pleased with as I was aiming for 3 due to my lack of training. Thank you to everybody who has donated so far! 

What is CMT?

CMT, or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, is the most common inherited nerve disorder, affecting over 20,000 people in the UK. It begins in childhood with irreversible progressive weakening, loss of muscle and loss of sensation in the lower legs, then the hands. It can go on to affect breathing, swallowing and speech, and is frequently accompanied by fatigue and neuropathic pain.

Please sponsor me, every pound goes straight to the charity. I'd like to think I can run the whole thing but if you don't have much faith in me which I wouldn't be offended by, you can sponsor me by the mile! 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
