Hi folks, thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

I do this 10k every year to attempt to raise as much money as I can in aid of British Thyroid Foundation. As some of you are aware last year I had to pull out as two weeks before the race date I had another emergency surgery on my spine, this year nothing is stopping me!

In 2003 my newborn daughter was diagnosed as having congenital hypothyroidism (no thyroid gland). This condition can cause life long defects and severe mental and physical imparments if it is undetected at birth. Luckily this was picked up on early enough for Becky to recieve the treatment and medication she needed to live life as any other healthy child would. 

There is very limited information for parents who have a child with this condition and it was the most confusing and scariest time for me as a parent. This charity helped me understand the condition itself and I was able to feel confident knowing that with the correct medication my daughter would be just great.

You can help by donating, even just a small amount - we would be so grateful. This race is a big effort for me this year with my back problems but I love a challenge!!  ;)
