We help people with PMR & GCA, & raise awareness about these diseases that can attack people aged 50+. PMR causes extreme pain in the muscles & joints & affects mobility. GCA can cause sudden blindness if not treated immediately. We can save more people's sight by raising awareness.

Cambridge Half Marathon completed today. Fantastic race, lovely route through Cambridge and great crowd support.

Thank you everyone for your donations, very much appreciated.

PMRGCAuk is a charity aiming to inform, support and connect people with PMR and/or GCA to improve their quality of life and to facilitate developments in diagnosis, treatment and research.

As some of you are aware, I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) in October 2020. It’s an inflammatory condition causing pain and stiffness in the shoulders and upper arms and/or hip area. A number of people with PMR develop  a potentially dangerous condition called Giant Cell Arteritis. The cause of PMR is unknown but it is believed to be an autoimmune disease.

Any donations you can make would be greatly appreciated.
