PID UK Virtual 10K
Campaign by Immunodeficiency UK (RCN 1193166)
Help to support families affected by Primary Immunodeficiency this September and take on a virtual challenge. Walk or run 10K throughout the month or in one go, on your own or as a team...you make the rules!

Story

As many of you know my sister has various conditions but one of the very first she was ever diagnosed with was a primary immunodeficiency. She has a pretty rare one and at the moment her current diagnosis for it is "undiagnosed primary immune dysregulatory disorder". Essentially she doesn't make enough antibodies herself to fight illnesses and infections so each week she infuses other people's antibodies into herself to give her a fighting chance at staying well. 

When I saw this opportunity I couldn't resist it as it seems to be the perfect mix of motivation to keep up my new fitness regime of running (I'll be doing my best to run the full 10K without stopping - it won't be pretty and it won't be fast but I'm determined to work up to making it happen!) whilst supporting a charity that has been so helpful to Hannah over the years. PID UK has been an essential form of support for her and so many individuals and families living with similar conditions, not least by giving them access to medical professionals for advice or help with queries and putting those with the actual conditions and carers of those people in touch with each other to enable them to support each other too. Please do donate if you can so we can ensure this amazing charity continues to be there for those that need it. Thank you xx
