Jed Baxter is raising money for Jordan’s Addison’s Disease Awareness

Scottish Half Marathon 2025 · 17 August 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

It is our mission to raise awareness of Addison's Disease and improve the lives of, educate and support people diagnosed with Addison's Disease and their families. Approximately 9,000 people in the UK have Addison's, with over 300 new cases diagnosed each year, yet very few have heard of it.

Story

Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2025 Scottish Half Marathon for Jordan’s Addison’s Disease Awareness in order to raise as much money as possible.

My brother Daryl was diagnosed with Addisons Disease in 2016, but looking back was suffering for years with it. It is a rare disorder characterized by the adrenal glands not producing enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. This deficiency can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, low mood, and skin darkening. It can be life threatening if you go into "Addisons crisis" and requires Daryl to take medication for the rest of his life.
