Dani and I are cycling 209 Miles in a Chase The Sun ride on the 24th of June (starting when the sun rises at Margate in the east of the country and with the aim of getting to Weston Super Mare in the west before sunset).

We are both doing this ride to raise money and awareness for Sjogren’s Syndrome. Sjogren’s is a less well known condition and our aim is to raise some much needed money for research and also raise awareness for anyone (mainly women) who may recognise some of the symptoms that can take up to 10 years to get a diagnosis!

My wife, Mo (Dani’s mum), struggles with Sjogren’s Syndrome and it is a very debilitating illness. Sjogren’s Syndrome is caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the body. It mainly effects areas that produce fluid like tears and saliva, but also effects joints, memory and extreme tiredness/fatigue.

As well as the planned cycle we will also be doing other events to raise money including coffee mornings and raffles which we will let you know about in a few weeks.

Any contribution via our Just Giving Page will be very much appreciated by myself, Dani and most importantly the BSSA (British Sjogren’s Syndrome association)

Many thanks,

Patrick & Dani
