Raising money for Joint Action, the research appeal of The British Orthopaedic Association

Charity Registration No. 1066994

The British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) was formed in 1918 with twelve founding members. Today, with over 4,000 members, the Association sees its purpose as working for the benefit of patients by advancing the science and practice of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery. The BOA believes it has been very successful in this role and the increasing demand is reflected in the fact that, today, 40% of all surgeons in the UK work in Trauma and Orthopaedics. As well as the human cost of pain and suffering, musculoskeletal disorders are the most common cause of illness in the UK affecting over 8.5 million people and are responsible for in excess of 11 million lost working days at a cost to society, in 2007 prices of over £7 billion. It is the sixth-largest area of NHS expenditure, at over £3.3 billion annually and accounts for over 30% of patients who visit their GPs. Over the years, through different charitable vehicles, the BOA has granted in excess of £5.7 million to support orthopaedic research. As a charity, it relies on voluntary donations from people such as you. Joint Action has been established by the BOA to help patients by raising funds for research so as to improve orthopaedic treatment for you and future generations. We aim to Keep People Mobile.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know during the course of this year I have had something of a ‘re-build’ with the installation of a new right hip and 4 weeks ago a new left knee! I have the fantastic advances in medical technologies and surgeries to be grateful for, rescuing me from spending the rest of my life in pain and increasing immobility. In addition, next month a close friend is celebrating 10-year survival from ovarian cancer thanks to advances in medicine and to mark this is undertaking a fund raising walk for ovarian cancer research. Unfortunately I cannot participate in that event as it is taking place in North Carolina but I thought it would be good to try and do my own version of the event at the same time to do my bit for fund raising.

Thus on the 17 of September - at the same day and time - I will do my version of the walk! Given my limited walking ability right now, my goal is simple. I will walk out of my door armed only with my crutch and aim to complete a 3-mile circuit in less than 2 hours. Given that I can only do ½ mile in 25 minutes just now, I think this is a sufficient challenge to be deserving of sponsorship.

I’ll be raising funds for the Eve Appeal and Joint Action equally. Feel free to choose which one you want to support – or even go for both! The just giving pages are in the links below.
