The Reason:

1) To raise awareness of arthritis, did you know……

There are over 200 types of arthritis that can affect people of all ages, including children and young adults. Arthritis is not just part of the ageing process or something that affects older people, but a condition which in its many forms affects about nine million people of all ages in the UK. Most people with arthritis will experience pain and difficulty moving around.

Find out more at www.arthritiscare.org.uk

2) To raise funds for Arthritis Care to enable them to continue their amazing work to help and support sufferers to manage their arthritis and to lead full and active lives.

It is not clear what causes arthritis and there is no cure at present. However, there are a number of options for people to help manage their condition and Arthritis Care provides essential information and support for sufferers and supporters all over the country. Discover more about how they help at, you guessed it, www.arthritiscare.org.uk.

A Massive Thank You to everybody who has provided support, encouragement and sponsorship throughout my challenge. I am extremely grateful and hope this challenge has helped to raise some awareness about arthritis and arthritis care.
