Hi All, 

I have chosen that for my first ever Triathlon (Blenheim Tri) I will be raising money for NASS a charity that has become extremely close to my heart as I have recently been diagnosed with Axial Spondyloarthritis and they are the only charity to support sufferers like myself. They receive no statutory funding therefore they rely on kind people to donate and trust me every single penny counts. AS is an extremely difficult condition to deal with and that is if you are lucky enough to be diagnosed quickly which at present is extremely rare as average time taken to diagnosis is 8 whole years. I have been extremely fortunate to be diagnosed within 1-2 years. I want to support NASS to help them support people like me and I also want to raise awareness of the condition as although it is rare it is a silent suffering in that the pain caused often can't be aided easily and our pain is not visible to others. Please help me support NASS by donating or raising awareness by sharing this page as far and wide as possible. Thank you!
