Imagine being told you are living with a chronic and enduring health condition for which there may be no cure. Whatever the condition, people may be faced by a lifetime living with pain, sleeplessness, low energy, inability to carry out basic daily tasks, low mood, cognitive impairment and depression. People often share that before Thistle they weren’t coping with life; a sense of barely surviving.

Now imagine not being able to access support you need to live well with a long-term health condition. For many, this is a reality. Again and again, people tell us they cannot find the support anywhere else.

That’s where you can make a difference. Support our runners to help ensure that no one experiencing a health crisis gets left behind.

Together, we can help people to make transformative life changes from feeling bleak, lonely and consumed with anxiety to living lives of confidence, resilience and social connection. By sponsoring our EMF participants, you can provide people with the support they need before a health crisis becomes a life crisis.
