As most of you know I am running my very first 5k in September this year and have decided that, as well as running for JDRF, I would like to try and raise some funds for Help For Heroes.

As you will be aware, Help For Heroes does wonderful work with the members of our armed forces who are injured whilst serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Unfortunately many of the injuries sustained by these brave men and women are life changing and they need specialist medical assistance and support to help them to recover and to adjust to their injuries.

Although the pain of my first ever 5k run (and there will be pain!) is nowhere near what these brave men and women have to deal with, I'd be really grateful if you could spare a few pounds for this very worthwhile charity.

Thanks in advance for your generosity!
