This January I will be taking part in a 30 mile walk over 21 days. I am doing this to raise awareness of Axial Spondyloarthritis. This is a cause very close to my heart as just over a year ago I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis/ psoriatic arthritis. I was diagnosed over a year ago with ankylosing spondylitis after years and years of symptoms and doctors appointments.  I began showing symptoms at 15 but only got diagnosed at 26. It is a long and hard process but once you've been diagnosed the support and guidance is essential.

Charities like NASS are amazing and the work they do helps everyone with and without a diagnosis in order to get them the right help. I am also doing this charity walk in order to raise awareness of this condition, it is not very well known and this needs to change. It is so important that everyone gets the right help and support they need on their individual journey.

I am going to push myself and achieve 30 miles, I know many of you won't think 30 miles is a lot but with someone suffering from this condition it is a challenge. This condition causes a lot of pain, alot of saying 'yes I'm ok' when really your not,  it stops you doing things you want to do, it limits alot of things in your life, it can be so destroying mentally and physically without support. So I am going to challenge myself to  raise money and awareness for not only me but everyone affected by this chronic condition.


So please If you are able, please donate to this amazing cause, it will not only go towards research, support and awareness but this will also give me strength to complete this walk for everyone involved ❤


I will keep you updated on my progress and I will also be adding bits of information about this condition to raise awareness 🥰 thank you to all of your support.

Around 1 in 200 people in the UK live with axial Spondyloarthritis, or axial SpA for short, a painful, progressive form of inflammatory arthritis associated with severe physical limitation, functional impairment, and decreased quality of life. There is currently no cure.

 Axial SpA is more common than MS and Parkinsons combined, and yet public awareness remains low, and there are multiple challenges in treatment, including an average 8.5-year delay to diagnosis.I'm putting my best foot forward to raise vital funds for NASS, and help provide specialist support, advice and the most up-to-date information to empower people with axial SpA (AS) to manage their condition.Please dig deep and sponsor me generously!
