Story

Hello Everyone,

On Sunday the 11th October I shall be running the Birmingham EDF Half Marathon which is just over 13 miles long.

Prior to June 2009, I could not even run one mile without stopping and somehow got pushed into doing this by my “friend” Matt! He must have asked me on a good day!!!  Without any persuasion my friend Emma agreed to do this with me and since then we have trained 3 times a week. Training has been difficult at times, with injuries obtained along the way but it has been worth it because I’m now running distances/speeds I never thought I’d reach.  


I am raising money for Cystic Fibrosis which is one of the ’s most common life threatening inherited diseases. There is currently no cure for this disease and the life expectancy of a sufferer is only 35.


The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is a charity that funds medical and scientific research to develop a cure and provide effective treatments for anyone affected by Cystic Fibrosis including my cousin Shannon, so I am hoping to raise as much money as I can. Further information about Cystic Fibrosis and the great work the Trust do can be found at http://www.cftrust.org.uk/


Any spare pennies you can donate would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your support.
