Join us at Sowerby Sports Village or choose your own location and distance, and head out at any time that suits you on 3rd November.
Every year Abbie helps to raise awareness of a health condition she lives with everyday, affects her daily life, but doesn't define who she is. Abbie is much more than her Pulmonary Hypertension and this year she is going to complete a 10k Walk for Hope, mostly in her powered chair 'Ruby'. Through this walk for hope, Abbie wishes to raise awareness and a little bit of money for a charity that will always be there to support her with information, advice and encouragment.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is rare, serious and misunderstood. It has a huge impact on people’s lives, and the PHA UK is dedicated to reducing that burden through support, advice, information and advocacy. They raise awareness and fund research to provide better treatments, with the hope of one day finding a cure for this devastating disease.
The PHA UK receives no government funding, so every penny donated plays a vital role in helping them support people to live better lives with PH.
