Founded in 1984, we're the UK charity for all affected by Addison's disease and adrenal insufficiency. We work to support and promote better medical understanding of this rare, life-threatening condition. All donations go to our 'unrestricted' funds, to help us in this vital work.

Story

Join us by taking 'Steps for Addison's Awareness'.

From 1 - 28 February 2026, step up and take on our virtual walking (or running) challenge to represent the challenging journey faced by many living with Addison’s and adrenal insufficiency. Let’s walk towards greater awareness of Addison's and adrenal insufficiency this Rare Disease Day!

We are asking you to commit to a personalised number of steps or kilometres throughout the month of February, leading up to Rare Disease Day on 28 February 2026. Set a goal that suits your fitness level – every step counts, whether it’s 10,000 steps a day or 1,000 steps a week.

Choose if you want to take on a personal or group challenge - either join on your own or sign up with someone else, perhaps a friend or loved one.
