We are Versus Arthritis to defy the pain & isolation of arthritis

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've had Rheumatoid Arthritis for ten years, and it's been a hard slog to get to a "normal" where I feel I can do more. Much more.

The idea for this adventure came a little while ago, then the pandemic hit, and family issues meant my efforts taking a backseat. 

Footprints and Soul s discovering Britain via a series of thru-hikes, starting on the west coast of Cumbria, across to the east coast, then up into Scotland. On foot. With a backpack and tent, filming and exploring the destinations in between. Creating a video diary, if you like.

There's a Facebook page set up, also a Youtube channel, as well as a website. Footprints and Soul is also about health, wellness, and getting out of your comfort zone. 

Wish me luck. xx Jools xx
