SORRY CHANGE OF PLAN........
I WILL BE RUNNING SWANSEA ADMIRAL 10K IN SEPTEMBER 2018 INSTEAD OF SWANSEA HALF MARATHON
I AM GOING TO RUN THE SWANSEA ADMIRAL 10K ON THE 16TH OF SEPTEMBER 2018 AND I AM TRYING TO RAISE SOME MONEY FOR TWO AMAZING LOCAL CHARITIES. THE FIRST BEING THE PAUL POPHAM FUND, THE AIM OF THE PAUL POPHAM FUND IS TO HELP IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF RENAL PATIENTS IN WALES, THEY ACHIEVE THIS BY WORKING WITH UNITS AND CENTRES THAT TREAT AND SPECIALISE IN RENAL CARE IN WALES TO PURCHASE ITEMS THAT WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE PATIENTS QUALITY OF LIFE.
THE SECOND CHARITY IS CALLED CANDY FREE KIDS, ITS AIM IS TO PROVIDE HELP AND SUPPORT TO CHILDREN LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES IN AND AROUND THE SWANSEA AREA. THEY DO THIS PRIMARILY THROUGH GROUP MEETINGS, DESIGNED WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF PROVIDING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS WITH A SAFE, SOCIAL FORUM TO DISCUSS TYPE I DIABETES AND ITS AFFECTS.
WHEN AND WHERE THEY CAN, THEY ALSO TRY TO RAISE MONEY TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF TYPE 1 DIABETES AND GENERALLY CONTRIBUTE IN ANY WAY.
MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OLIVIA WAS DIAGNOSED OVER A YEAR AGO WITH TYPE I DIABETES AND ITS TURNED HER LIFE UPSIDE DOWN.
ONLY 10% OF DIABETES ARE TYPE 1.
TYPE 1 DIABETES HAS VERY LITTLE AWARENESS AND THIS CHARITY HELPS IN SO MANY WAYS.
