Andrew & Luisa's Fundraiser for PMRGCAuk

Luisa Tramontano is raising money for PMRGCAuk
Celebrating the wedding of Andrew Burgess and Luisa Tramontano

on 26 September 2026

We help people with Polymyalgia Rheumatica & Giant Cell Arteritis, & raise awareness about these diseases that can suddenly attack people aged 50+. PMR causes extreme pain in the muscles & joints & affects mobiliity. GCR can cause sudden blindness if not treated immediately. We believe we can save the sight of hundreds of people a year by raising awareness.

Story

As some of you may know, in April this year, Andrew was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), and since then our lives have changed in ways we could never have imagined. It’s a little-known but incredibly serious condition, mainly affecting people over 50 and particularly women. Without rapid diagnosis and treatment, it can cause irreversible blindness, stroke and, in rare cases, life-threatening complications.

This is now an illness incredibly close to our hearts.

By raising money and awareness, we hope something positive can come from what has been an incredibly difficult time for our family — helping more people recognise the signs, receive treatment quickly and supporting vital research into this often overlooked disease. This is a very small charity where even just a couple of pounds will make a difference

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Love Luisa and Andrew
