<p>I ran in my first competitive 10k race on April 15th 2012, now I want to compete in more, and raise money for good causes along the way.</p> <p>I can hardly think of a better charity than The Lily Foundation. Mitochordial disorders are surprisingly common and yet there are no known cures.</p> <p>Some variants of the disorder cause permanent disability while others lead to degeneration and death, in some cases even before a full diagnosis can be made.</p> <p>Help me to help The Lily Foundation by donating whatever you can.</p>
