Me and my partner, Rich, are running a 10k at Run For All's Leeds Abby Dash on the 30th November to raise money to benefit Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity. Any donation will help make an impact.

My little sister, Jodie, has been diagnosed with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) for just over a year and a half now. This is a rare autoimmune disease that affects her joints at random and can cause her a lot of pain and even make her immobile for long periods of time, or need surgery. There currently is no cure for this disease and it is a lifelong condition.

The treatment and support that the Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity, specifically the amazing paediatric rheumatology team, has done for her and other young people in the area to allow them to live pain free is immeasurable.

Thanks in advance for your kind contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
