I am running the Cardiff Half Marathon in October this year to help raise funds for the British Thyroid Foundation.

I am raising money for this charity as their information and support has, and is helping me through ongoing treatment of hyperthyroidism caused by Graves Disease.

Running a half marathon will be a challenge but I'd like to help raise funds and more awareness of thyroid conditions and the effect it can have on people's lives.

Let the training begin! Heather Tunnicliffe
