Sjögren’s Syndrome is debilitating, distressing, under recognised and under treated. Glands that produce tears and salvia or secretions of the vagina, skin and bowel stop working, it causes muscle or joint pain, low mood and extreme fatigue. The BSSA supports sufferers and raises awareness.

Story

We are three sisters, Elizabeth, Helen & Lynne,  running a 1/2 marathon together for the first time to raise awareness of Sjogren's and funds for the BSSA. Please support us!!

Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic, autoimmune rheumatic disease causing dryness of the eyes & mouth, fatigue and joint pain. 90% of the sufferers are female and it usually starts in the 40's although younger people and men can be affected too. It is a debilitating and distressing condition which is often undiagnosed and under-treated.

Elizabeth - I am a rheumatologist with a special interest in Sjogren's syndrome and have been involved with the BSSA for some years. I know how hard the BSSA works supporting patients, funding research and raising awareness amongst Health Professionals and the public. 

Helen - I work in Education and have always had an interest in Sport. I am going to make sure my sisters do their training and encourage them to keep going and not give up! 

Lynne - I am a GP. The BSSA is keen to raise awareness of this condition amongst GPs and I am going to use this 1/2 marathon to spread the word and raise funds at the same time.

Lynne suggested we style ourselves on the 'Spice Girls' - so Posh, Sporty & Baby - guess which one is which!!
