For those of you who know me, may or may not know that since 2013 I have suffered with a chronic skin condition called psoriasis. What this means is that during a 'flare up' for approximately 4-5 months at a time my body is 70%-80% covered in red, flaky, crusty patches of skin (for the lack of sexier sounding words). 

In November 2017 I suffered the most severe flare up to date which meant that my face, neck and most visible areas of my body also became a victim to it. This flare up taught me a number of things about myself, encouraging me to focus on my inner strength, embrace a routine of self care and learning to accept vulnerability. 

It also encouraged me to raise awareness about this relentless condition. And for that reason I am taking part in the annual Virgin British run again to raise awareness of not only psoriasis but also the Psoriasis Association who have been fundamental in my journey towards embracing the skin I'm in.  

The Psoriasis Association are the leading national charity and membership organisation for people affected by psoriasis in the UK. Through their work, they help people whose lives are affected by psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. They do this through mainly funding research, providing information and raising awareness.

Their presence has provided me with a lot of support and comfort over the past few years and connected me with several individuals globally who are also dealing with this relentless skin condition.

Now that you know my story, I would be more than grateful if you could help support this wonderful organization and to help individuals across the UK learn to love their little red dots, just like I am learning to love mine!
