Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Once again I'm running & raising for the Vitiligo Society

I am doing a multi-eventer to raise money for The Vitiligo Society, a charity who supports, inspires and educates about vitiligo Home - The Vitiligo Society. I am running the following events

  • 25th September - Ealing Half marathon
  • 2nd October - London Marathon
  • 16th October - Great South Run
  • 27th November - Kingston Half marathon

My 10 year old daughter has non-segmental vitiligo. We first noticed her skin became really sensitive at about 7 years old especially to the sun, then patches developed on her skin - her hands, elbows, feet, knees, hips, face & eyes.

She is amazing and seems to cope really well, however, as a parent I wanted to learn more about the condition and the Vitiligo Society have helped me on my journey and this is my opportunity to give something back, raise awareness and much needed sponsorship so that we can all learn more and help people and their families with the condition.

Vitiligo affects all races and genders equally; however, it is more visible in people with darker skin. Although vitiligo can develop in anyone at any age, it most commonly appears in people aged between 10 to 30. Vitiligo is a common disorder, affecting between 0.5%-1% of the population worldwide. However, many cases may not be reported, and some researchers suggest the condition may affect up to 1.5 percent of the population, that's over 70 million people.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please give generously and your support is greatly appreciated by me and everyone that your donation will go on to help.

Thanks for your time and best wishes

Nigel
