Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will once again be taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 12 October 2014 and I will be raising money for NASS, the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society.

Ankeloysin Spondylitis (AS) is a type of chronic (long term) arthritis that affects parts of the spine, including bones, muscles and ligaments. The symptoms of AS can vary, but most people experience back pain and stiffness. the condition can be severe, with around one in 10 people at risk of long-term disability. There is no cure for AS, the aim of treatment is to ease the pain and stiffness and to keep the spine flexible. Since 15 April 1976 NASS has played a crucial role in providing accurate and up to date information allowing people with AS to have a greater understanding of their disease and in turn, make more informed choices in the management of their symptoms.
