London Landmarks Half Marathon

I'm fundraising for...

Over 10 million adults, young people and children live with arthritis. And yet, arthritis is still poorly understood and far too little is done. That’s why I’m fundraising for Arthritis UK – the leading arthritis charity, changing lives through research, campaigning and support.

One more and final time… said that before

Monday 3rd Aug
This will be my last attempt to run a half marathon having been diagnosed with Arthritis at the age of 7 and really struggling in my late teens early 20s i never thought i would be able to run at all let alone run a half marathon. 
But with the work Arthritis UK have done and great surgeons who have done 7 operations to rebuild my feet and a hip replacement in Dec 2022. Along with being up on ANTI TNF injections which was a game changer for me.
Yes i still have pain and discomfort but alot more manageable. 
So one more half to sign off with in April i might not be as fast as i was before my hip replacement (not that i was that fast) but i am still as determined and doing it
