2010 Virgin London Marathon

25 April 2010

The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26 miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall. Since the first race in 1981, 746,635 runners have passed the finish line and raised more than £400 million for charities and good causes. Last year alone a staggering £47.2 million was raised, making the event a Guinness World Record holder as the largest annual fundraising event on the planet.

26 FOR ARTHRITIS RESEARCH UK

Everything Arthritis Research UK does is underpinned by Research and this work takes the pain away from sufferers of all forms of arthritis and helps people to remain active.  I will be walking the Arthritis Research mile with Catherine Bull.  Cat was just 14 when she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis after suffering increasing pain in her knees, feet and wrist for more than a year.  Cat was put onto a drug called Etanercept, one of a new class of therapies for severe Rheumatoid Arthritis that was pioneered by Arthritis Research UK and has transformed Cat’s quality of life and has been a huge improvement.  Despite a hip replacement, Cat is leading a remarkable life now and Cat and I are hoping to raise awareness of arthritis in young people as one of Cat’s main struggles was people not understanding what she was going through. I hope that you will support Cat and the many young people that need support by donating to Arthritis Research UK and easing the suffering and pain so many go through.

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
