I’m running in the Landmark Half Marathon 7 April 2024 for the Addisons Disease Self Help Group (ADSHG). It is a charity that supports people affected by adrenal insufficiency, steroid dependency and Addisons disease. 

Initially I wanted to support this charity as my Mother-in-Law has adrenal insufficiency as a result of brain tumour surgery in 2011. However, since signing up my 18 year old niece has been diagnosed with Addisons after spending 10 weeks critically ill in hospital.  Both are dependent on replacement hydrocortisone and are at risk of potentially fatal adrenal crisis. I am so thankful that the ADSHG is there to help them both. 

The ADSHG work to increase knowledge and support for the serious condition of adrenal insufficiency. Their support has, and continues to save lives.

I have taken on this challenge to support in raising awareness, as well as raising funds, for ADSHG's very necessary work.
