Run, walk or push 40 miles or 40 kilometers in 40 days in aid of Behçet's UK. You choose and set your own pace. If you want to run 10-miles every Saturday morning for four weeks thats great and so is walking 1 to 2 kilometers every day or two for the full 40 days.

For the last 40 years Behçets UK has represented and supported all Behçets patients in the UK, including those yet to be diagnosed, and continues to do so. We promote and fund research into the condition and our ultimate aim is to find a cure but in the meantime, we strive to secure the best care for all Behçets patients and assist their carers, parents, and relatives.

Behçets (pronounced Bet-Jets), also known as Behçets Disease or Behçets Syndrome is a rare, complex and lifelong condition resulting from disturbances in the body's immune system. Symptoms, which can be debilitating, occur wherever there is a patch of inflammation; this can be anywhere where there is a blood supply from the brain down to the feet.

As we don't receive any government funding we rely on generous donations from our members and supporters through fundraising campaigns like this one to continue to provide our services and deliver our aims as well as raise awareness.

This raw, vulnerable, and emotive film reflects the lived experience of Behçets.
