Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm doing a skydive 20th August 2016 for NRAS so please give whatever you can :-) I have chosen this charity because rheumatoid artritis (RA) has affected many people in, and close to my family. It's an extremely painful condition with no cure. I want to raise as much money as I can to help research this horrendous illness to try and help those in and close to my family live with a little more comfort.

RA is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, causing joint inflammation, swelling and stiffness and extreme fatigue. It affects almost 700,000 people in the UK (around 1% of the population). It is a painful and progressive disabling disease of the autoimmune system and has no known cause or cure, and if not diagnosed quickly can lead to permanent joint damage. It affects people of any age - nearly 12,000 children under the age of 16 suffer from the juvenile form, JIA.
