Hello!
I will be running the 2023 London Marathon, in support of my sister, for the charity: Versus Arthritis.
As some of you guys may or may not know my sister, Daisy, has been battling juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, since the age of 3. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks your joints, effecting your everyday life massively. 15 years on and after multiple therapy treatments, including night splints, immunosuppressant drugs such as methotrexate with horrible side effects, Daisy continues to carry out her daily life at home and at school with the condition. Whilst Daisy never complains and battles massively, I remember having to carry her around the house and up the stairs when she was little due to the immense pain she lived with, which is noticeably testament of the impact it had and still has on her. Versus Arthritis is a fantastic charity aiming to help provide funding for new and existing treatments, as well as care. It would mean the absolute world to both Daisy, my family, all those that suffer and I if you could donate to this great cause, however much or little.
