In just over a week I will be taking part in the Adidas Women’s 5K challenge in Hyde Park, London. I am running to raise money for Arthritis Research UK. I have never ever done anything like this before, I notoriously hate running but decided that I needed a focus, a challenge plus do my body some good. So I have been doing my training with the help of the #C25K app and I am getting there…..I doubt I will be up to running the whole 5K next week but I’m hoping to run the majority of it with a bit of walking in between.
Arthritis Research Uk is fighting to help relieve sufferers from the pain and help people remain active
Taken from their website these words are very important and significant and having watched my mother suffer for years since she was diagnosed with arthritis in her thirties, I can only hope that this all becomes possible:
Our Vision
Our vision is a future free from arthritis.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reduce the pain and disability resulting from arthritis by:
- funding high quality research into the cause, treatment and cure of arthritis and translating the results of that research to benefit patients
- educating and informing the general public, patients and health professionals on all aspects of arthritis
- campaigning for better treatment and support for all those living with arthritis
- working in partnership with others to make a greater difference for people with arthritis.
I know there are lots of pleas for sponsorship all the time but even £1 would help Arthritis Research UK get nearer to achieving their goals and also give me the push to make it around the course on the 5th September. Every penny and every little helps…..thank you so much for your support.
