Hi Everyone!
I'm Meg :) And thank you for visiting my page.
On the 18th May 2014 I will be running a 10k marathon in order to raise money for Allergy UK.
For all of those people who aren't familiar with this charity, i'll explain where my money is going and why I have chosen this charity.
We all know at least one person suffering from an allergy; that allergy may be as common as eczima or hayfever and as dangerous as nut allergies etc and unfortunately each year there are more and more people being diagnosed with some form of allergy and sometimes people find themselves having to base their lives around their allergies but Allergy UK spends a lot of time researching causes, triggers and cures for these illnesses. Helping us to become more aware and ensure we can live our lives saftely and live them to the full- even with an allergy.
I have chosen to raise money for this particular charity for one main reason; As many of you know, in 2010 I lost someone very close to me- Molly. She passed away due to her allergies to nuts and her asthma and over the 3 and a half years since she passed away, numerous fund raising events have been held in her name, to help raise awareness of how dangerous allergies can be.
So please support me and donate over the coming months and I'll see you at the finish line!
