Follow me on my journey to raise awareness of Lupus and become a marathon runner.

I will be running the 2010 London marathon to support my sister Viki after she was diagnosed with Lupus 18 months ago.

Money I raise from the marathon run will be used to help continue funding the Lupus UK specialist nurse and the Lupus UK research co-ordinator, both based at Queen Elizabeth/City Hospitals, Birmingham - the first fully patient-funded posts of their kind in the UK.

My moto: “Be All You Can Be!”

Steven Gerrard

 

This Friday proved to be another great experience on my journey to raising funds for Lupus UK as I travelled to the Liverpool training ground with my sister Viki to get this fantastic portrait of Steven Gerrard, by Wendy Mallas, signed.

When we arrived we were greeted by a representative from the Liverpool Press Office who showed us around the facilities and saw the European Cup.

After physhiotherapy Steven came out to meet us and sign the portrait.  He was impressed with the work and was more than willing to sign it for the good cause.  He wished me luck in my challenge and posed with us for some pics.

When I finally managed to prize Viki away from Steven’s side, we made our way home to get the live auction underway!  Remember that if you want to bid for the signed portrait or you know someone who might be interested send your bid to gerrard_auction@me.com.  SPREAD THE WORD!!!!
