I am raising money in aid of British Liver Trust and every donation will help. My best friend’s sister, at the age of 17, was diagnosed with a very rare autoimmune disorder and after many years of treatment she is now on the transplant list waiting for a liver. She is a remarkable and strong individual and despite her battles, she keeps going. On Sunday I will be running the Plymouth Half Marathon for Emma, representing this great charity.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to Emma and her family.

The British Liver Trust is the UK's leading adult liver health charity. Through our campaigning, helpline, support groups, publications and website we aim to increase awareness of all liver conditions including liver cancer, and improve early detection and treatment in order to save lives.
