In Feb 2022, I was diagnosed with a life threatening disease called Addisons disease.

Addison’s disease is a rare endocrine condition where the adrenal glands cease to function, so that your body no longer produces enough of certain essential hormones, known as steroid hormones.

Fortunately, you can replace these essential hormones with daily steroid tablets. Those steroids are what keeps me and thousands of people who suffer from Addisons alive every day.

For someone with Addison's disease, illnesses like a cold, flu, virus, or infection can be extremely dangerous and could be deadly.

I'm holding a 9 hour sponsored silence on Saturday the 30th of June to raise awareness of Addison's Disease, aiming to advance medical research and make the condition easier to manage.

I owe my life to the NHS and charities like the Addison's Disease Self Help Group.

Your support means everything x
