Story
From the Charity:
We're here for the estimated 1.2% of people living with and affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) here in the UK.Were here to support people through the difficult times, right through to recovery and everything in between, we are OCD-UK.Uniquely, the charity is completely service-user led, everyone involved in the organisation have personal experience of OCD, either directly or through a loved one.
From me: As someone who has many people in my life with OCD this charity has really helped me to be more understanding and kinder to those with the disorder. It is a charity that does so much good work for those living with OCD and is one of very few charities. OCD is so often misunderstood and is so often used as a throwaway comment in TV or by people on social media. I have wanted to raise money for this charity for a while and this seemed like a great opportunity. Along with my running updates I will post helpful resources that I have used.
