So earlier this year I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a degenerative rheumatic disease, which has always been a big part of my life as my mum and nan also suffer from the disease. Unfortunately, there is no cure and not that much treatment either, which is a bit scary for me at times, but I'm determined to take advantage of my good health and make a real difference! NASS is such an important charity for AS sufferers, it provides advice and support to patients and their families, as well as funding research into more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment.

Please give as much as you can, this money can make such a difference to the lives of AS sufferers across the country!

Thanks!!
