Living with Behçet’s disease is challenging on so many levels. This is a very rare and poorly understood condition which proves to be very frustrating and challenging when trying to find suitable treatments. My immune system – the body's natural defence against infection and illness – mistakenly attacks my healthy tissue meaning that it can basically affect any part of my body. I currently live and suffer with regular seizures, a paralysed stomach, breathing difficulties, i have restricted mobility and regularly rely on walking aids and a wheelchair. I am thankful to the Behçet’s syndrome society for the amazing help and support they offer me. It would be amazing to raise money and give something back to help raise awareness for such a poorly and misunderstood

condition.

This is the daily battle my friend Cat Ray faces so im taking part in the official Bechats uk cycling challenge
