I'm taking part in 40 in 40 this spring in aid of Behçet's UK.

I was diagnosed with this disease in 2018, and have had some ups and downs because of it. But I consider myself one of the lucky ones, even after a couple of spells in hospital. I am looking to support the fundraising  campaign for those who are not so fortunate with the impact of this disease

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. They promote and fund research into the condition and their ultimate aim is to find a cure but in the meantime, we strive to secure the best care for all Behçets patients and assist all affected by the condition.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.Behçet's UK doesn't receive any government funding so rely on generous donations through fundraising campaigns like this one to continue to provide their services and deliver their aims, as well as raise awareness.
