Why I'm walking to World Arthritis Day

Hello everyone! From 1-12 October 2024 I will be taking part in the Versus Arthritis 12 Day Challenge to walk towards a future free of arthritis. I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis in January 2022, following almost 2 years of symptoms. I am currently on treatment, which has stabilised my condition and most days are now pain-free! 🙂

As a young person with this condition, at times I have felt very isolated and alone, due to the common misconception that arthritis only affects the elderly. I have sometimes been treated differently because of my condition in my personal life and in the workplace. My goal is to break the stigma that arthritis is just something people should 'just get on with', and raise awareness, especially of musculoskeletal conditions in children and young people.

If you wish to donate or share my fundraising page, please see the link below. Your support will help fund research and service delivery, and make a future free of arthritis a reality. Thank you! 🙂

Gift Aid - Increase the value of your gift by 25%, at no extra cost to you Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay in the tax year the donation was made in. Your home address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
I want Versus Arthritis to claim Gift Aid on my donation made today, and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years. I am a UK taxpayer and I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
