Marathon in a Month
Campaign by PMRGCAuk (RCN 1128723)
We're encouraging patients, family, friends & supporters to walk a marathon in July to raise funds & awareness so that we can continue to provide support for patients when they are newly diagnosed & throughout their journey with PMR & GCA.

Story

Four

In Kent and Surrey 4 members of local support groups are walking together and separately raising funds for PMRGCAuk this month.

PMRGCAuk is the only UK charity dedicated to PMR and GCA, providing information, support, and reassurance to people with either of these conditions. Their efforts also help raise awareness in the medical world and in the general population, ensuring that people can receive a speedier diagnosis if they have either of the conditions. Both conditions can be life-changing, with GCA being the leading medical cause of sudden onset blindness. Getting a prompt diagnosis and treatment is vital. With your help, we can achieve more and support more people.

Our goal is £500. If you'd like to join us in the challenge you can email orpington@pmrgca.org.uk Just let us know where you live in Kent or Surrey.

If you'd like to help us on our way you can make a donation through JustGiving. You will be making a real difference.

We help people with Polymyalgia Rheumatica & Giant Cell Arteritis, & raise awareness about these diseases that can suddenly attack people aged 50+. PMR causes extreme pain in the muscles & joints & affects mobiliity. GCR can cause sudden blindness if not treated immediately. We believe we can save the sight of hundreds of people a year by raising awareness.
