Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running my second Great North Run to raise money for Arthritis Research UK and to hopefully beat my time from last year...so hoping for no knee injuries this year!  More importantly I hope to raise as much money as I can as this charity is committed to raising awareness about Arthritis and making a real difference to people's lives.

Around 1 in 6 people in the UK have some form of Arthritis-thats nearly 10 million of us and I have seen the pain this can cause first hand as many of my close family members suffer with this.  There are over 200 different types of Arthritis and the most common is osteoarthritis.

All proceeds raised will be used to fund medical research across the UK into the cause, treatment and cure of arthritic conditions, to educate medical professionals and to provide information to the general public.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Any donations no matter how small will be greatly appreciated...thank you xxx
