Simplyhealth Great North Run 2019 · 8 September 2019 ·
I started the couch to 5k with the aim to run, in order to raise money for the three conditions Jamie has, PSC being one of them. Those who know me, understand this took time in order to build up my fitness in order to be ready for such a challenge. However, this is nothing compared to the bravery by boy has shown over the last 4 years since his diagnosis. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an immune-mediated disease of the bile ducts with no medical treatment. Alongside PSC and Jamie’s two other conditions, (AIH and UC) it can be difficult to function on a daily basis, many with this disease go on to need a liver transplant in order to survive. PSC is referred to as ‘the last black box in hepatology’ because there is so much we don’t yet understand about this complex condition, despite impressive research progress in the last decade.a People with PSC urgently need a treatment that works.Donating to PSC Support means you are helping us fund more ground-breaking research projects. The next one could be the breakthrough that people with PSC have been waiting for.#LetsBeatPSC
