This October we are celebrating Pituitary Awareness Month.

 “I attended the recent Acromegaly Meetup 2017 in Birmingham, and it bought home to me that I am not fighting this alone, like I have felt since being diagnosed 2 years ago. Although my family and friends are wonderful it’s totally different to chat with somebody who really does understand.

"I feel it’s critical to raise awareness about acromegaly and other pituitary conditions. Before all this I had absolutely no idea what either were! I think this is possible by working on national campaigns and getting different institutions and companies involved for maximum effect. I’m ready to work for more awareness so that fewer people suffer from these conditions.

You can help The Pituitary Foundation raise awareness by making a donation and by spreading the word. Every voice counts.”  Lauren Bates Pituitary Patient. 

With the help of our Volunteer Campaigners and supporters we aim to raise awareness and demonstrate the importance of the pituitary gland and what can happen when something goes wrong.   

We work hard to fly the pituitary flag high and make sure that the information and support is out there for all those who need it.   

But we need your help.

Please consider making a donation to help us with this vital work. Together we can contribute to better awareness and understanding of pituitary conditions.

£10 could help us produce 10 copies of an awareness raising booklet 

£25 could help us send a selection of awareness flyers to a volunteer campaigner to distribute in their local community

£50 could help us contact as many opticians as possible during Pituitary Awareness month prompting early diagnosis for patients
