I'm walking a marathon in July to support the valuable work done by PMRGCAuk.

They are the only UK charity dedicated to Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) . They provide information, support and reassurance to people with either of these conditions and help to raise awareness in the medical world and in the general population so that people can get a speedier diagnosis if they have either of the conditions.

I have PMR and they were, and continue to be lifeline for me and other people with PMR and GCA. My husband Steve and I will be walking around Ruislip Lido (a reservoir with a sandy beach and a narrow gauge railway around it)

We will be walking from our home and completing 2 circuits of the Lido six times throughout July which will equal the length of marathon.

I am extremely proud to be a Trustee and see all the amazing things that are being done for people with PMR and GCA!
