Fundraising for Behcet's UK
After a family member was recently diagnosed with suspected Behçet’s, the support from members of Behçet’s UK as well as the online guidance has got us through a difficult and daunting time. We will be walking to raise awareness and fundraise to give back to Behçet’s UK.
I'm taking part in 40 in 40 this spring in aid of Behçet's UK.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.
