BackCare is UK’s national charity for back and neck pain since 1968. Back pain doesn’t kill, it tortures – destroying lives and livelihoods. It accounts for half of all chronic pain and is the leading cause of sickness absence from work. Help us stop back pain from destroying someone’s life today!

Story

Firstly, thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

BackCare is a national charity whose aim is to promote healthy backs. At some point during our lifetimes, two in five of us will suffer from back problems. 1.1 million people are disabled by backpain, making it the nation's leading cause of disability. BackCare seeks to challenge and change these statistics. BackCare helps people manage and prevent back pain by providing advice, promoting self help, encouraging debate and funding scientific research into better back care.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The National Back Pain Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Thanks again
Andy
