In 2005 my beautiful sister was diagnosed with Addison's disease when she was just 15 years old.

Addison's disease is a rare endocrine condition where the adrenal glands cease to function and is rapidly fatal if untreated.

My sister’s medication is time-critical and is taken throughout the day, every day. People with Addison’s also have to manage increasing their medication in response to daily physical and mental stressors to prevent a life-threatening adrenal crisis.

As a rare condition, it is often misunderstood in hospitals and receiving correct treatment is fraught with challenges. Without the Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) charity she wouldn't have the knowledge that has improved her health and saved her life multiple times in emergency admissions from adrenal crisis as she manages unstable Addison's.

She battles every day with her body and she still keeps going. She is a total inspiration.

So l am running a half marathon to raise funds for this amazing charity so it can support more people just like my sister.
