Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune condition in which there is an increased tendency for the blood to clot. The condition can cause strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary emboli and DVTs. In pregnancy, APS is a leading cause of recurrent miscarriage and stillbirth.

Story

I was diagnosed with APS in 2021 following a DVT. I want to fundraise to improve researching this rare and chronic condition. In addition, I want to increase awareness of APS in the general public, in which, without doubt, there are many more sufferers who are unaware that they have sticky blood and that they could be vulnerable to heart attacks, DVTs and strokes.

By running 10K myself, I want to show existing sufferers from APS, that the condition does not stop them from getting out and enjoying themselves, despite the sometimes difficult symptoms.

APS, or Hughes Syndrome, is almost unknown in both the general public the medical community.

It's time to get people thinking and acting on APS and hopefully supporting much needed research.
