5K a Day for February · 8 February 2021

We’re the 10 million people living with arthritis in the UK. The carers, researchers and healthcare professionals. The family, friends and fundraisers. United by a clear vision: a future free from arthritis. One in which no one is limited by the pain, fatigue and isolation that arthritis can cause.

Story

Update: So I’ve hit this next target so I am running 5k a day for April now too.... So if I reach £1500 I will extend a further month again....

Update: I said to my daughter if I raised £500 I would extend this to run 5k a day through March too. So onwards to March too! If I get to 1k I will probably do another month also but open to suggestions for another challenge to add! 

So what started off as just a personal challenge to try and get fit again and regain some motivation, after some pestering by my good friend Alex I thought id see if I could raise a couple of quid in the process too. 

So what am I doing? I am running a minimum of 5k a day for the month of February and I think I've picked the perfect month weather-wise. 

So onto the why this Charity? Well as some may be aware I was diagnosed with PSA a few years ago, currently on various medications which have really got this under control for myself. However others are not so lucky and millions of people wake up with arthritis every morning and face the day in pain, without the support and recognition they deserve. Arthritis attacks what it means to live and people with arthritis are often left to manage alone. Versus Arthritis invests in breakthrough treatments, the best information and vital support for everyone affected by arthritis. Please sponsor me so that together we can overcome the pain, isolation and fatigue of arthritis.

So if you fancy donating a couple of quid, even the cost of a pint? Not like we can go out to actually buy one right now.... That would be awesome but if not that's awesome too and thanks for taking the time to read this far. 

Stay safe and ill see you on the flipside x
