Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.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.

I was diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis aged 21 whilst at university studying veterinary medicine. I have been on various medications over the years but my life with this disease has been dramatically improved since starting on biologic therapy as researched by versus arthritis. This enables me to continue working as a veterinary surgeon and lead an active life. Chronic pain is an awful thing, and you don’t realise how it affects you until it goes away. 

Please donate what you can so that this fabulous charity can keep doing fantastic work.
