Perkins Great Eastern Run 2013 - Half Marathon · 13 October 2013 ·

We provide holistic care to empower people affected by leprosy.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I initially signed up for the Great Eastern Run (a half marathon) as a personal fitness challenge.  Since then, I've suffered from shin pain in both legs, had X-rays and physiotherapy, and more recently suffered a cold.  My training plan has been decimated, but I care so much about this cause that I'm dragging my 90kg shin splint-ridden frame around 13.2 miles of Peterborough pavement anyway!

£30 can pay for an operation to reverse blindness in someone affected by leprosy.  When I heard this I got so cross - it's far too cheap to have anyone still suffering from this in the world!  I'm hoping to raise enough money for ten of these operations.

Please support me, and give me a reason to run through the pain!  It would mean a great deal to Becky and me personally.
