Why I'm walking to World Arthritis Day
I am raising money for Versus Arthritis by taking on Walk to World Arthritis Day.
This is my own personal challenge to support the lives of those living with arthritis in the UK. Versus Arthritis won’t rest until everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose, with real hope of a cure in the future.
Your donations will fund world class research, high quality services and campaigns that matter most to people with arthritis.

Me...
Monday 30th Sep As some of you will know, I was diagnosed with a rare form of arthritis only effecting 1% of people called psoriatic arthritis. I was 29 when diagnosed and spent a long time trying different medications and injections, even having an allergic reaction to one before finally settling on one injection I take monthly to try and slow the progression of the disease. This isn't a cure and it will get worse and I do still have pain flares and permanent joint & tendon damage but without the help of our NHS & charity's like versus arthritis I would be so much worse now & life would be much harder than it is.The nhs help me tirelessly with rheumatology appointments, scans, bloody, mris and nurses when needed. Arthritis effects so many people in the UK not just old people as many think. Some are even children who get juvenile arthritis 😪
If you could spare anything at all to help research, calls and appointments be it even £1 to versus arthritis I'd be ever so grateful.
Thank you ❤️
