A few years ago, my sister was involved in a life-changing car crash. Among other injuries, she was left with chronic pain all over her body, which has since been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

While a relatively unknown condition, Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that will cause a person to feel a heightened sense of pain all over their body, among other debilitating symptoms, such as fatigue, internal and mental issues.

I will be taking part in a number of runs on behalf of my sister, to raise awareness for this awful condition, as well as raise plenty of money for Fibromyalgia Action UK. I will be running the Birmingham 10K on April 8th, and then taking part in the Shrewsbury Half Marathon on June 17th, and then sleeping for a long time (this part isn’t for charity). 

I would love it if you could spare a couple of quid to sponsor me for the training and consequent runs, and help raise as much money for Fibromyalgia Action UK as possible. Thank you!
