KIDS GET ARTHRITIS TOO!
Alec is 9. He was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis (JIA) in September 2014. In his drawing he vividly represented his arthritis as being like a volcano in his joints. He also loves bikes! That's all the motivation I needed to get training for my UK end to end cycle.
There are over 12,000 children with juvenile arthritis in the UK. It can affect any child. It can be a life changer. Parents feel powerless as they attempt to comfort their child in pain.
This is a subject close to my heart as I myself was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis last year at the age of 32. My medicine is helping so far.
My friend Rob Paterson and I will be cycling on average 90 miles a day to cross the UK over 10 days. Trevor Amos will be providing back-up support. We're raising money for NRAS who support kids like Alec and their families.
Please give generously. Any child whose quality of life we can improve is priceless.
Thank you.
