London 10k run for arthritis care!

hannagoodwin

Hey, Im just putting a post on here to say that im a 17yr old girl, and have suffered from JIA for nearly 4 years now, for the last 3 and a half years I have been on crutches and in a wheelchair, but 3months ago I learnt to walk again...
I am now running the Bupa London 10k with my dad. We are doing it to say a big thank you to Arthritis care, for all of the help they have given me over this time, and the help they have given my family.

I was just wondering if any of you would support us, or like to give us a donation, how ever big or small, to arthritis care?

Thank you if you can.
Please see our website... We will keep updating it.... Its:

A big thank you to you all, for the sponsorship money x
I am so proud of Hannah for doing this and I am more than happy to drag my old and overweight body :oops: around 10 Kilometres of London with her, to hopefully go some way, in repaying you and Arthritis care, for the help and support you have given Hannah.

From Hannah's Dad x

A very, very heartwarming story and I can't wait to hear how you both get on.

I've had JIA since aged 7 and am so pleased that Hannah now feels well enough to attempt something like this. It will bring hope to a lot of parents on this forum who's kids are battling the same disease.

Well done to both of you!

Hey Hannah,

Im 17 too and have had JIA since I was 5. I just wanted to say you are amazing, I know how hard it is to keep up all the training etc. You are doing it for an amazing cause, but of course you already know that.

I wish you all the best, you will be fantastic.
Take care, Steph x x

Hi Hannah

Had another look on your website to see how the fund raising's going....

It's great that you are more than half way there with the sponsorship.

Hope Hannah that your dad is able to keep up with the hard training regime!

We will all be rooting for you on race day and watching with more excitement than normal because of your involvement and this great thing you are doing .

hope the sun is shining where you are.

Hi Hannah and family

I would like to add my congratulations and admiration with what you have achieved. Instead of sitting at home and moaning about it like me you have got up and done something. I really admire you.

Thank you to everyone that have been supporting me and my dad.... not long now....only 4days till the big day!

So grateful for all of the support, and all of the donations we have received, we have made it to just over £1,000 pounds now! But there is still time for anyone who hasn't sponsored us, and who wants to, to do so, just pop onto our website:

Thank you.... Hannah x

hannagoodwin

Thank you all for your support!

We did it! I can't actually believe it, and we also did it in just under 1hr 10mins! Which we can't believe as I didn't even think we would manage 1hr 30mins.... We didn't even stop once! Tehe.

Had an amazing day, and was really spurred on by the support we had and the money that was raised!

Was well worth all of the hard work and training!
