Story

ADSHG have given me so much support and advice since being diagnosed with Addison's in February 2017. Without their constant presence I would not be here today, having succumbed to the numerous Adrenal Crisis I have experienced in the last 3 months.

They are always there when I need them, for advice, information and general support to pick me up when I am down. They provide invaluable support to people who suffer with a disease that only 8,400 people in the UK have. This is a rare and dangerous disease that is little understood which makes their work that more valuable.

Please donate as little or as much as you would like so that someone else diagnosed doesn't feel as alone as I did before I found them.

I have gone from being healthy and happy to battling through each and every day. I am tired of fighting but I cant give up.
