Robin Paton is raising money for Joint Action, the orthopaedic research appeal of The British Orthopaedic Association

Story

I am an Orthopaedic surgeon and deal with the effects of severe joint disease in adults and children.

Approximately 30% of consultations to GPs are for joint problems. All age groups are affected by serious bone and joint conditions from babies to the elderly.

I have a particular interest in childrens' joint conditions and have undertaken research into clubfoot, and serious hip conditions (dysplasia and dislocation of the hip).

I am 55 years old and only started marathon running in 2012 running in Manchester and Amsterdam. This will be one of my only chances to run in London and to collect money for a good cause.

Bone and joint disease causes severe disability. Money for research may improve treatment and the quality of life for thousands of people.

I would be grateful if you would consider donating to this charity.
