Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year, from the 1st-10th Sept 2022, I am cycling from Lands End to John O Groats in ten days covering 1000 miles. My chosen charity is the British Sjogrens Syndrome Association.

Like most people, I had never heard of Sjogrens, let alone understand what it is. That changed when my wife was diagnosed with the condition and I see what sufferers have to contend with every day.

Sjogrens is a debilitating auto immune condition with a variety of symptoms that sufferers have to contend with every day for the rest of their life. There is no cure.

People generally have not heard of the condition and therefore do not understand just how much it affects sufferers in all aspects of their life.

Hopefully my cycling challenge can help in some small way in the associations work in raising awareness of the condition and supporting sufferers.

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.

Thank you

Pete
