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.
