Why I'm Stepping All the Way to World Arthritis Day!

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 18 years old. Since then, I’ve tried numerous treatments to manage my symptoms, but it wasn’t until starting rituximab in my mid 20s that my condition finally came under control. I’m incredibly fortunate to have access to this life-changing treatment, but many people still struggle to find relief from the treatments available on the NHS.

For World Arthritis Day, I’m aiming to walk as many steps as possible and at the same time raising money to help fund research and provide better treatments for more patients. Your support can make a difference in the lives of those battling arthritis every day. Let’s work together to bring hope and healing to others.
