The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileEvery penny raised helps us support people affected by Addison's disease and adrenal insufficiency .
Addisons is a rare disease affecting adrenal gland function and can be life threatening. It affects approximately 1 in 10,000 people, meaning an estimated 300 - 350 new cases are diagnosed each year across the UK, this makes it roughly 300 times rarer than diabetes.
Life-long treatment with replacement steroid hormones is required. Medication is usually taken several times daily at carefully timed intervals and individuals must also know how to administer an emergency hydrocortisone injection to prevent a potentially fatal adrenal crisis.
Your fundraising supports our work to support the Addisons community and their healthcare providers to promote better medical understanding of this rare condition, campaign for and support everyone affected by adrenal failure, and funds vital research.
