NTM Patient Care UK is working to improve the lives of people with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in the UK. We are doing this by providing education and information to increase understanding of NTM in both clinical and patient communities. We are also working hard to improve support for NTM patients, their carers and families.

Story

I've had NTM (non tuberculous mycobacteria) lung disease for about nine years. A while back I took the big three antibiotics for a year which worked a treat but it's returned. The worst symptoms for me are the debilitating cough and fatigue but life is good and I'm looking forward to training for the half marathon. I have osteoporosis in my spine and have been advised not to run so intend to walk as fast as I can (with a little bit of jogging) and hope to complete in as close to three hours as possible - will have to walk at over four miles an hour. Feel very excited to be fundraising again for this amazing charity!
