Kate Lewin,<br />
Ruth Holmes,<br />
27<br />
London<br />
Kate Lewin was diagnosed with osteoporosis in her spine in 2012, as a<br />
result of celiac disease. It came as a huge shock for her, but together with<br />
her best friend Ruth Holmes, they will run the 2013 Virgin London Marathon<br />
to fundraise for the National Osteoporosis Society.<br />
Kate has run the marathon before for other charities, but this is the first<br />
time that she has run for a cause that directly affects her. Ruth is a<br />
physiotherapist so understands the implications of osteoporosis.<br />

Emmerson, 21<br />

Nick’s grandmother died of myeloma which caused osteoporosis.<br />
Vertebral fractures caused her to lose several inches in height before she<br />
died, and as Nick turns 21 on marathon day (obviously the 21 st April!) he<br />
wants to use the occasion to raise awareness of osteoporosis, and funds<br />
for the charity.<br />
