Story
For those of you who don't know three years ago I (Kristian) was diagnosed with Addisons disease.
This is a disease linked to muscle stress levels and is part of the reason I am often very ill and tired.
At first I felt completely on my own nor me or my family knew who to talk to, until I met another girl my age who had to condition who introduced me to the ADDISONS group (ADSHG), where I met a whole variety of people with the condition and it was refershing to hear how others deal with the same issues that I have.
Despite the effects of the condition I refuse to let it hold me back in things that I want to accomplish. I plan to go into full time drama school training in September, which will be intese but completely worth while and I will manage my condition accordingly.
My good friend Dan and I decided that we want to raise money for the ADDISONS DISEASE SELF HELP GROUP to both raise awareness and support for other people with Addisons. In the hope that people don't spend as long as I did feeling like they are on their own and as soon as they are diagnosed they get in contact with others.
The plan is to start with the Victoria 5k Run and then work our way up to further events and there is even talks of a possible sky dive over the next couple of years!!
Any donation would be hugely appreciated by both myself, Dan and the ADSHG.
