Anyone running for an arthritis charity who wants sponsorship?

Rachel Mac 04-10-2006, 11:10

Hi there,

My nana suffered with arthritis for many years and i always have huge respect for people who take part in the London Marathon in aid of a charity.

I would like to sponsor someone who is running the Marathon in aid of an arthritis charity so plesase tell me your name, so i can see your page, and i will give what i can. I am currently volunteering in Tanzania so only have a bit of cash to give but i would like to support someone running this epic race for a cause that is close to my heart.

I hope to hear from someone. Good luck to you all!!!

Best wishes, Rachel.

Hi Rachel,

What a fantastic offer.

You can find everyone who is raising funds for Arthritis charities by clicking the following links:

Arthritis Research Campaign

Arthritis Care

National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society

Childrens Arthritis Trust

And I'm sure any JG Forum members who are running for an Arthritis Charity will post a message on here.

I hope that helps,
James.

Dear Rachel

I am running for Arthritis Care who actually look after people once they have arthritis. I am running for them because I had arthritis as a child and was extremely lucky as it went away.

I would be very proud to run for your nana and for all the sufferers world wide who were not so lucky as me.

It is really heartwarming to run for charity - I get such a lot out of it, it is really not a hardship!

Take care... and good luck in Tanzania.

Hi Rachel
I think I may have been pipped to the post, but I would also greatly apprieciate your support. I am running for Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC), because my Mum like your Nan has Rheumatoid Arthritis which is a terrible condition and if I can help to fund research that may help my Mum and other sufferers get any sort of pain relief and make life easier is worthwhile running a Marathon for. You can view my web page at www.justgiving.com/jaynecunliffe
Many thanks for supporting Arthritis and London Marathon Runners they are both tough conquests but very worthy and rewarding.

Hey Rachel, I happen to be going to China in a couple months to run a marathon on the Great Wall for the arthritis society of canada. I am 19 and have suffered from arthritis since third grade. I think it's so awesome that you want to support the cause, if you want to check out my page go right ahead,

Once you get to the page a search field will prompt you to enter my name, (Greg Boese), just follow the links from there.

Thanks a lot!!!
