My Name is Taylor Saunders and I am a Stills disease and HLH patient at UCLH hospital.

Last year I was rushed to hospital after having what I thought was a very bad flare of my Stills disease, however it turned out that I had another disease called HLH which was making my condition worryingly worse.

After 3 months of being an inpatient I had finally become stable enough to come home to my family all thanks to Dr Manson and the rheumatology team at UCLH, they went the extra mile to save my life and ensure that I would one day live a normal life.

A year later and now it is my turn to do something to thank the hospital and the team, so myself and a few of my friends have decided to go raise money for the fight against HLH, by doing a 5km obstacle course on the 3rd of September. 

Any donation is massively appreciated and even if you can’t donate, please take a second to do a bit of reading up to understand the disease so that we can spread awareness!
