Raising money for National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society and Rare Autoinflammatory Conditions Community - UK (RACC-UK)

Story

Hi all!

In September-October 2024, I will be walking the parts of the Via Francigena pilgrimage in three stages. I will be starting in Lausanne, Switzerland, and ending at the Vatican. I have 6 weeks to do it, which means I will unfortunately have to skip some of it route. 400 miles. Lausanne -> Aosta; Parma -> Lucca; Sienna -> Roma.

I will be doing this in aid of two charities close to my heart; one being the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS), and the other is the Rare Autoinflammatory Conditions Community (RACC). I would like the money to be split fairly evenly, so please bare in mind when donating!
