Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Millions of people wake up with arthritis every morning and face the day in pain, without the support and recognition they deserve. Arthritis attacks what it means to live and people with arthritis are often left to manage alone.Versus Arthritis invests in breakthrough treatments, the best information and vital support for everyone affected by arthritis. Please sponsor me so that together we can overcome the pain, isolation and fatigue of arthritis.
I have chosen to run for Versus Arthritis because I see the impact of Arthritis everyday on family members and through my work. Versus Arthritis also support those with Rheumatoid conditions which are less well known and are life altering conditions that leave people reliant on medication for the rest of their lives to manage it.
A key way of managing arthritis is through exercise and so I am doing my first ultra marathon (52k/32 miles) for those living in pain with arthritis.
