I am once again raising money for the Hibbs Lupus Trust, a charity the helps support the person closest to me, and many others like her. To do so I will be running the Chester 10k, Half-marathon and marathon (my first ever 😬). The challenge ahead of me, is nothing compared to the daily battle against Lupus.

The Hibbs Lupus Trust supports people affected by lupus to make sure that no one faces lupus alone.

"Whatever lupus throws your way, we’re right there with you."

Lupus is a chronic and presently incurable illness of the immune system. Rather than just fighting viruses, bacteria and infection by producing antibodies, your body starts to attack and destroy healthy cells, tissues and organs.

Lupus is very much an "invisible" illness, with symptoms that can be highly frustrating and deeply misunderstood by those with little to no knowledge about it. It is also extremely difficult to diagnose, with people often waiting years for a correct diagnosis, further adding to people's frustrations.

More information on the fantastic work that The Hibbs Lupus trust does can be found on the link below.

If you have taken the time to read this then thank you! Half of the battle is raising awareness of this disease, this only helps to push for more funds so research can be made for treatments, and maybe one day a cure!!

If you have been able to donate thank you! I will keep the page updated with any additional fundraising and how my knees are coping with all the extra running 🏃‍♂️
