Story
I'm lucky enough to be able to work for AAM and see first hand how the charity helps the guys they work with and see just how much time, skill and dedication goes into the charity. I've decided it's time to give something back to the charity who have given me incredible opportunities and so much fun and it's time to challenge myself. And this is a massive challenge for me, as 5 year ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Psoriatic Arthritis which is essentially an inflammatory arthritis which affects joints, ligaments and tendons leaving me with chronic pain and fatigue. I might not run the entire course, but I am determined to finish it, even if I have to crawl around! Please donate if you can, even if it's only £1, it really makes a difference.
